President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has defended his administration's decision to prioritise infrastructural development under the Renewed Hope Agenda, saying it is the backbone of a modern economy.
He said Renewed Hope is not just a slogan but roads and ease for the common man. He urged Nigerians to continue to support his administration's infrastructural drive.
Commissioning the Collector Roads 01 and 02 in Mabushi District of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, on Friday, the President, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, pledged that with the support of the citizens, his government will continue to build more roads, create more jobs, and restore full confidence in governance.
The president noted that the collector roads have created new, seamless links that ease flow across Mabushi, from the bus terminal into the wider FCT.
President Tinubu noted that for too long, movement in that part of the nation's capital had been a struggle with traffic bottlenecks and needless detours; he pondered the "time lost that should have been spent at work, at school, or with family."
He said that precarious situation has changed with his administration stepping in to fix the nation's infrastructure.
The FCT Minister said the commissioning of the collector roads in the territory was in compliance of the presidential directive to improve the state of infrastructure in every district in the FCT.
Wike attributed all of the achievements in the FCT within a short period to the President's courageous leadership, urging Nigerians to support the continuity of the Tinubu administration for the sustenance of laudable projects and programmes.
