Tinubu Reaffirms Commitment to All Nigerians, Highlights Major Infrastructure and Development Projects

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated his commitment to serving all Nigerians equally, stressing that his administration’s ongoing projects cut across every region of the country.

In a statement on Sunday, Tinubu said the oath he took as president was to serve the entire nation and not a section, a principle guiding his government’s infrastructure, power, and health initiatives.

 

 

The president highlighted several flagship projects, including the Lagos–Calabar Highway in the South, the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway in the North, the Port Harcourt–Maiduguri rail line in the East, and the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano expressway in the Centre. He also cited the Trans-Saharan highway linking Nigeria to other African countries.

 

 

On health and energy, Tinubu noted that health centres are being rehabilitated nationwide, while the 255MW Kaduna power plant has been revived to restore electricity to the state. He added that light rail projects in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos, and Ogun have been approved, alongside the creation of 250,000 new jobs.

 

 

Other key projects mentioned include new bridges in Onitsha and Bonny, oil exploration in Bauchi and Gombe, and the ongoing Ajaokuta-Kaduna- Kano (AKK) gas pipeline which has now crossed the River Niger.

 

“These are not local trophies. They are our national assets,” Tinubu said. “Every farmer who needs a road, every trader who needs power, every child who needs a school, every patient who needs care… this is who we are building for.”

 

He reaffirmed his administration’s promise of equity under the Renewed Hope Agenda, stressing that “no Nigerian is second class, no region is left behind.”

 

“Together we will rise as one nation, one people, and one destiny. Bet on Nigeria,” the president declared.
