DAMATURU, Nigeria, June 29, 2026 - The Yobe State Government has attained a historic engineering milestone under its 25-Year Capital City Master Plan as the construction of the flagship Damaturu Central Flyover approaches final civil completion. Conceived, awarded, and systematically funded under the urban renewal portfolios of Governor Mai Mala Buni, the massive structural grid completely redefines the metropolitan landscape to position the capital as a functional commercial hub.The specialized engineering project, executed by TRIACTA Construction Nigeria Limited, features a robust network of three overhead lanes, specialized underpasses, and integrated stormwater channeling systems. The multi-billion naira deployment permanently corrects the notorious "Cross" intersection—a restrictive 1973 federal highway bottleneck connecting the Kano–Maiduguri and Bayamari–Biu transport corridors that historically triggered severe logistics gridlocks, vehicle collisions, and seasonal flash floods.
Press and Media Affairs Director-General Mamman Mohammed confirmed that the administration has expanded the project's parameters to absorb a comprehensive 6.6-kilometer dualized road expansion stretching toward the August 27th Stadium. Synchronized with the completed and buzzing Damaturu Modern Market, the complex incorporates a transit plaza and modern motor terminal equipped with dedicated passenger hostels, medical clinics, and independent fire service outposts state-wide.
