In my remarks on Tuesday in Bida at the flag-off of the Federal Government’s ₦1.8 trillion reconstruction and dualisation of the Lambata–Bida–Mokwa–Makera–Kontagora Road, I said: “Today, we do more than flag off the construction of a road. We are opening a gateway to opportunity. We are connecting communities to markets, farmers to consumers, businesses to customers and our people to a more prosperous future. For Niger State and for Nigeria, this is a defining moment.”

I commend the Niger State Governor, H.E. Umaru Mohammed Bago for the work he’s consistently put into securing federal support for the state’s development priorities. I equally acknowledge the contributions of the Minister of Works, Senator David Umahi, to the implementation of the Federal Government’s road infrastructure programme.

This is yet another high-impact infrastructure by President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu that will boost trade, agriculture and job creation and transform an entire region. The President has shown, through projects of this magnitude, that the Renewed Hope Agenda is not merely a statement of aspiration. It is a programme of concrete investments designed to expand economic opportunities, improve the quality of life of our citizens and lay the foundations for lasting national development.
