The Acting Executive Secretary of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA), Richard Dauda, said the project was among the seven approved memos submitted by the FCDA for consideration.
Dauda explained that the project involves the upgrade of the obsolete streetlights on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Expressway, a 14-kilometre 10-lane expressway from Maitama to Gudu.
He said the upgrade became necessary following available new technology in street lightning.
He added that a hybrid street lighting system would be deployed to brighten the road and make it more secure and more motorable in the night.
