President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed commitment to serving all Nigerians equally, emphasising that his administration’s infrastructure and development projects cut across every region of the country.
In a statement on Monday, Tinubu said his oath of office ties him to work for all Nigerians, not just a section, pointing out that ongoing projects in transport, health, energy, and agriculture reflect this commitment.
Highlighting key initiatives, Tinubu listed 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, describing them as “national assets” rather than regional projects.
He also cited the Trans-Saharan Highway connecting Nigeria to other African countries.
He wrote on X, “Dear Nigerians,
“I took an oath to serve all Nigerians, not a section. That oath guides every bridge, road, rail, power, and health project we deliver.
“From the Lagos–Calabar Highway in the South to the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway in the North; from Port Harcourt–Maiduguri rail in the East to Abuja–Kaduna–Kano expressway in the Centre, and the Trans-Saharan highway connecting African countries, these are not local trophies. They are our national assets.
“Health centres are being rehabilitated nationwide, light rail projects in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos & Ogun have been given the green light, 250,000 jobs are being created, power is returning to Kaduna through the revived 255MW power plant, bridges in Onitsha & Bonny reconnect our people, oil exploration is expanding in Bauchi & Gombe, and the AKK pipeline has crossed the Niger.
“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.
“This is the equity of Renewed Hope. 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.”
