President Bola Tinubu has pledged his administration’s
commitment to fixing abandoned federal roads in Anambra.
He also promised to reactivate the south-east gas reserve
plant and tackle the flood challenge in the state.
Tinubu made the pledge on Thursday at the Alex Ekwueme
Square during his official visit to Anambra.
The president reaffirmed the federal government’s resolve to
upgrade road infrastructure and foster stronger national unity through
inclusive development.
“Abandoned federal road projects that link Anambra to Kogi
can become the fastest gateway between Abuja and Anambra South and South-South.
I agree,” he said.
“I am standing before you to say that the ministry of
transportation is aware and will include the connection in the master plan and
give it attention.”
He acknowledged the under-utilisation of gas reserves in the
region.
Tinubu commended the state government’s efforts in improving
security, adding that the federal government will ensure that peace and
stability are restored to the state and region at large.
“With our progressive ideological alliance, we will continue
to partner with your state to deliver shared prosperity in Anambra and to all
Nigerians,” Tinubu added.
“As your president, I have always said and I’m saying the
same thing now in our national anthem, we sing — though tribes are tongues may
differ in brotherhood, we stand.
“We will continue to be brothers. We are one family, a
single family, diverse, living in the same house called Nigeria. We are only
staying in different rooms. Our diversity must lead to prosperity. We must work
together to be a united Nigeria.”
Chukwuma Soludo, governor of the state, thanked the
president for the visit.
He described the projects, which include rehabilitation of
the Enugu-Onitsha road, Second Niger Bridge access roads, and ongoing erosion
control measures, as “game-changers” for the south-east.
He added that the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) is
“aligned with the centre”, and is committed to people-focused development.
“We are implementing bold, people-centric programmes, free
education, healthcare for women, youth empowerment, and massive agricultural
initiatives that align closely with the Renewed Hope Agenda,” Soludo said.
