The Enugu–Onitsha Expressway's first 15km was officially opened by Minister of Works, Senator Engr. David Umahi, ahead of Easter celebrations. The section, part of a larger reconstruction project, had been stalled under a tax credit arrangement between MTN Nigeria and RCC before President Bola Ahmed Tinubu intervened. Umahi stated the President ordered accelerated work and mandated that at least 50% of the road be built with reinforced concrete, similar to the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. He said the journey from Enugu to Onitsha, which took up to seven hours before 2023, is being drastically reduced. The first 50km of the concrete pavement is 97% complete. Umahi credited Tinubu for reviving the project, noting that despite the initial award before his administration, no meaningful progress had been made until a review and restructuring occurred. Other road projects highlighted include the 123km N455 billion Abuja–Southeast link, the Afikpo-Uturu-Okigwe road under Dangote's tax credit, and the Aba-Ikot Ekpene, Umuahia-Ikot Ekpene, and Owerri-Aba roads, with completion rates between 70% and 99%. The second Niger By-Pass, Enugu-Abakaliki, and Enugu-Port Harcourt sections are also ongoing. Umahi mentioned the reconstruction of two collapsed bridges at Artisan in Enugu State within nine months, now fitted with solar lights, and confirmed the entire Enugu-Onitsha stretch will have solar lighting.
