President Bola Tinubu says his administration’s policies are
guided by the oath of office he took to serve all Nigerians.
In a post vis his X handle on Monday, the president said the
oath “guides every bridge, road, rail, power, and health project we deliver”.
Tinubu was responding to criticisms over alleged lopsided
projects and regional neglect.
He added that his government’s policies and projects are
designed to benefit citizens regardless of region, religion, or ethnicity.
“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.
