The Renewed Hope administration of the President of Nigeria, His Excellency Sen. Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR has proven to be a grandmaster of inclusive and impactful governance that embraces  the desires of the federating States.

A statement issued by Hon. Barr. Orji Uchenna Orji, (Special Adviser (Media) to the Hon. Minister of Works, noted that the federal government under Mr. President carries along all the States in her road infrastructure development plans, adding “Just recently, the President of Nigeria released  funds  for the commencement  of nationwide  palliative interventions  on our road infrastructure in addition  to the  budgetary  and extra budgetary  funds provided for the execution of the 2024 road  projects.”

The 36 State Governors have been working progressively with the APC led federal government, notwithstanding party affiliations or ideological inclinations, to ensure that roads of socio-economic priority in their States are captured in the infrastructure roadmap of the Federal Ministry of Works.
