President Bola Tinubu on Monday assured Nigerians that no community across the country would be left behind in his administration’s drive for national development.
Tinubu gave the assurance during the flagging off of the construction of access road from Tunga Madaki to Zuba area of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, to mark his third year in office.
Represented by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, Tinubu said the construction of roads across the capital city is part of plans to make the FCT work for all residences.
According to the president, the road construction would provide jobs for youths across the capital city.
He said: “This project will also create jobs for our teaming youths during the construction and would support livelihood in the transport, supplies and services after completion.
“To the contractors, I expect timely delivery, quality work, and the engagement of local labour. To the people of Tunga Madaki, Zuba and all communities along this road, this road belongs to you; cooperate with the contractor to deliver quality work on time.
“My dear residents in Abuja, we will not stop here, all the road extensions, the completion of inner roads linking Abuja to Kaduna expressway are all part of one plan to make the FCT work for all residences and ensure that no community is left behind in our national development.”
The president also commended the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike for his discipline and speed in delivering projects across the capital city.
“At this juncture, I would like to commend the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike and the entire FCT Administration for the discipline and speed with which projects are being delivered.
“From major highways to community access roads like this one, we are seeing a return to planning, the rejection of abandoned projects and a focus on results that citizens can feel.
“When I gave the charge to transform the FCT, the instruction was simple, deliver tangible outcomes that improves our daily lives and today the word speaks for itself,” he said.
