PDL-145T: Government seeks to fast-track completion of the program’s first phase and launch the second, focused on rehabilitating agricultural feeder roads

State Minister Guylain Nyembo chaired the fourth meeting of the PDL-145T National Operational Committee in Kinshasa on November 2, 2026, to assess completion of the first phase of socio-economic infrastructure and prepare the launch of the second. The next phase will rehabilitate agricultural feeder roads to improve access to production areas and markets, reduce transport costs, and connect remote territories. Due to financial constraints, 3,700 kilometers of roads will be rehabilitated rather than the 10,000 kilometers initially planned; this first edition of the program is scheduled to end in December 2027. Technical committee coordinator Jean-Philippe Mukuaki said preparations for the second phase had been completed.

He said exports would earn foreign exchange while domestic consumers would not be charged international petrol prices. Adebayo also said Nigeria’s four state-owned refineries would operate and private refineries could receive domestic crude at zero cost to serve the local market.
