President Bola Tinubu on Thursday assured Nigerians that the country is not beyond redemption.
Tinubu made the remark while noting that infrastructure is
the foundation of prosperity which is the cardinal principle of this
administration.
He spoke during the commissioning of interchange at Arterial
Road N16 – Ring Road III Intersection linking Jahi District to Gwarimpa
District of the FCT.
The project was among those earmarked to celebrate his third
year anniversary and he was represented at the commissioning by the Senate
President, Godswill Akpabio.
He said: “I’m very proud to stand here to commission this
Arterial road interchange N16 linking Jahi district to Gwarimpa District of the
FCT.
“This is not just a bridge and slip roads, this is freedom
of movement and time returned to the people, this is renewed hope that you can
even drive on. This intersection used to choke the entirety of Abuja, gridlock
stretched from Maitama to Gishiri, from Jahi to Gwarimpa; hours lost, fuel
wasted, business were lost but today that story ends.
“This interchange opens up critical districts of the FCT and
connects them smoothly to the rest of the FCT. Workers will get home earlier,
security will improve because criminals strive when security stands still.
“Ladies and gentlemen, infrastructure is the foundation of
prosperity which is the cardinal principle of this administration. Roads are
the arteries of a nation, when we connect districts we connect destines and
that is the logic of the renewed hope agenda, build the roads unlock the
economy and let Nigerians strive.
“The Jahi-Gwarimpa interchange is prove that Nigeria is not
beyond redemption. With focus, discipline, and political will, Nigeria will
deliver and we are delivering, the FCT is delivering.”
The president also charged Nigerians and residents of the
FCT to pay their taxes.
According to Tinubu, it would allow his administration to
provide more infrastructural projects.
“Also pay your taxes and levies so that government can do
even more for you,” he added.
