We’re changing infrastructure development story across Nigeria – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu says his administration is changing the story of infrastructure development in Nigeria through the execution of tangible projects across the country.

Tinubu stated this on Wednesday at the commissioning of the dualised and upgraded Ushafa to War College/Army CheckPoint roads and other ancillary roads in Bwari Area Council of the FCT.

He restated his administration’s resolve to build a Nigeria where every community is connected, every business thrives, and every citizen enjoys a life of dignity and opportunity.

Tinubu, represented by the Vice
-President Kashim Shettima, said the inauguration of infrastructure projects across the country by his administration is an expression of commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable development.

“We have transformed a path of frustration into a corridor of opportunity.

“These dualised and upgraded roads will not only ease traffic congestion, they will breathe new life into economic activities.
” They will also improve access to education and healthcare, uplift the overall quality of life for the good people of Ushafa, Bwari, and the neighbouring communities,” he said.

While enumerating the significance of the road projects, the President said they are a tangible expression of his administration’s commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable development.

“There is something even more remarkable to celebrate today: this entire project was awarded to an indigenous contractor.
” That decision was deliberate. It was born out of our belief in the competence, resilience, and ingenuity of Nigerian professionals and businesses.

“We are not just building roads. We are building capacity. We are creating jobs. We are fostering a sense of ownership and pride within our communities.

” Above all, we are demonstrating unequivocally that, given the right support and enabling environment, Nigerian contractors can deliver infrastructure that rivals the best in the world,” he stated.

The Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike said the ongoing commissioning of projects in the FCT is a demonstration of the President’s love and care for the inhabitants of the satellite towns.

He said the provision of road infrastructure in the FCT satellite towns, is key to opening up the areas for economic development and improve the livelihoods of the people in all ramifications.

Wike expressed satisfaction with the conduct and capacity of the contractor that handled the project.
