FCT: Era of uncompleted projects over, I’ll develop Nigeria – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday assured that the era of starting roads and infrastructural projects without completing them in Nigeria are over.

Tinubu vowed to ensure that infrastructural projects cuts across all states of the nation until Nigeria becomes a developed nation.

He spoke during the commissioning of the newly constructed roads of Gomani-Dafa-Yangoji in the FCT to mark his third year anniversary in office as president of Nigeria.

Represented by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, Tinubu said the road networks being constructed is a testament of the renewed hope agenda he promised Nigerians.

He said: “I’m pleased to commission this newly completed 13km stretch of Gomani-Dafa-Yangoji road, and of course this is renewed hope made visible for the good people of Kwali and the FCT, not in speeches but in Ashphalt, bridges and in light.

“When we set out under the renewed hope agenda , we agreed on one thing that development must reach every Nigerian, not just those at the centre, at the cities, Abuja can’t be a city of two walls, but this roads rejects that divide. This roads connects Goamni-Dafa-Yangoji to markets, schools, and opportunities. 

“For too long the strength of our rural communities was held back with poor access roads, crops rot away before reaching the markets, young people left because they wrote to their ears that it’s impossible, instead of bringing them up, the roads were bringing them down but those things have changed today.

“This road is a prove of what happens when a team is focused on results and not excuses, let me state this very plainly that the era of starting projects only to abandon them is over. We will fund, finish, and we would maintain the infrastructure that we are building.

“From city expressways to rural areas, to access roads, every single naira of public funds must show up as value for the citizens of this country. We would keep laying it district by district, council by council and state by state until Nigeria becomes a developed nation.”
