Nigeria has the largest road network in [[West Africa]]. It covers about 200,000&nbsp;km, of which 60,000&nbsp;km are asphalted. Nigeria's roads and highways handle 90% of all passenger and freight traffic. It contributes N2.4trn ($6.4bn) to GDP in 2020. 35,000&nbsp;km of the road network fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government. The motorway links of important economic centres such as [[Lagos]]-[[Ibadan]], Lagos-[[Badagry]] and [[Enugu]]-[[Onitsha]] have been renovated.<ref>{{cite web |last=Shuaibu |first=Faruk |date=2022-05-01 |title=How FG moves to save 35,000km road networks |url=https://dailytrust.com/how-fg-moves-to-save-35000km-road-networks |access-date=2022-09-14 |website=Daily Trust}}</ref>

The rest of the road network is a state matter and therefore in very different shape, depending on which state you are in. Economically strong states such as Lagos, [[Anambra State|Anambra]] and [[Rivers State|Rivers]] receive particularly poor evaluations.<ref>{{cite web |date=2022-04-24 |title=7 States With the Worst Road Networks in Nigeria |url=https://businesselitesafrica.com/2022/04/24/7-states-with-the-worst-road-networks-in-nigeria/,%20https://businesselitesafrica.com/2022/04/24/7-states-with-the-worst-road-networks-in-nigeria/ |access-date=2022-09-14 |language=en-US}}</ref> Most roads were built in the 1980s and early 1990s. Poor maintenance and inferior materials have worsened the condition of the roads. Travelling is very difficult. Especially during the rainy season, the use of secondary roads is sometimes almost impossible due to potholes.<ref>{{cite web |title=2.3 Nigeria Road Network - Logistics Capacity Assessment - Digital Logistics Capacity Assessments |url=https://dlca.logcluster.org/display/public/DLCA/2.3+Nigeria+Road+Network |access-date=2022-09-14 |website=dlca.logcluster.org |archive-date=14 September 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220914134254/https://dlca.logcluster.org/display/public/DLCA/2.3+Nigeria+Road+Network |url-status=dead}}</ref> Road bandits often take advantage of this situation for their criminal purposes.<ref>{{cite web |title=UPDATED: Motorists List Nigeria's Most Dangerous Roads, Say Bandits Built Dens Along Them {{!}} Sahara Reporters |url=https://saharareporters.com/2020/12/16/updated-motorists-list-nigerias-most-dangerous-roads-say-bandits-built-dens-along-them |access-date=2022-09-14 |website=saharareporters.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Babangida |first=Mohammed |date=2022-05-18 |title=Bandits abduct motorists on Abuja - Kaduna highway |url=https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/530677-bandits-abduct-motorists-on-abuja-kaduna-highway.html |access-date=2022-09-14 |website=Premium Times Nigeria |language=en-GB}}</ref>
