ABUJA – President Bola 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, just as he urged Nigerians to continue to support his administration’s infrastructural drive.
Speaking on Friday when he commissioned the Collector Roads 01 and 02 in Mabushi District of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the President, who was represented by his deputy, 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.
Defending his administration’s focus on infrastructural development, the Nigerian leader noted that the collector roads have created new, seamless links that ease flow across Mabushi, from the bus terminal into the wider FCT.
“When roads connect, businesses grow. When movement is easy, productivity rises. When travel is safe, citizens are free. That is the Renewed Hope Agenda at work. It is a fact that Infrastructure is the backbone of a modern economy. Roads are not just asphalt.
“They are the veins of commerce, the bridges of unity, the channels through which our people pursue their dreams without fear or delay. By strengthening interconnectivity here in Mabushi district and indeed, other districts, we are strengthening the entire Federal Capital Territory,” he declared.
