Tinubu replies critics, lists projects in each region (Full List)

President Bola Tinubu has asserted that the policies and initiatives of his administration are fundamentally anchored in the solemn oath of office he took, which obligates him to serve the interests of all Nigerians.

In a statement shared on his X handle on Monday, he emphasized that this oath serves as a guiding principle for the various infrastructural projects his government is undertaking, including the construction of bridges, roads, railways, and advancements in the power and healthcare sectors.

His remarks came in response to mounting criticisms regarding perceived imbalances in the distribution of projects and allegations of regional neglect.

Tinubu contended that his administration is committed to implementing policies and delivering projects that are intended to benefit all citizens, irrespective of their region, religion, or ethnic background.

“I took an oath to serve all Nigerians, not a section. That oath guides every bridge, road, rail, power, and health project we deliver,” the post reads.

“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.”

Tinubu said health centres are being rehabilitated nationwide, and light rail projects in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos, and 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 and Bonny reconnect our people, oil exploration is expanding in Bauchi and Gombe, and the AKK pipeline has crossed the Niger,” he said.

“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.”

The president noted that the “equity of renewed hope” ensures no Nigerian is second class and no region is left behind.

“Together we will rise as one nation, one people, and one destiny. Bet on Nigeria,” he added.
