Infrastructure development in Rivers State was a key topic during the meeting, with Tinubu acknowledging the need to address pressing concerns, especially regarding the East-West Road’s Eleme Junction-Onne axis. He noted that FCT Minister Nyesom Wike would play a pivotal role in addressing these infrastructure challenges.
Governor Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers expressed gratitude on behalf of the delegation, highlighting that this was the first time Rivers State had truly felt the impact of the Federal Government since the advent of democracy in 1999. Fubara commended Tinubu for securing a $14 billion investment approval for projects nationwide, including significant expansion in Eleme, Rivers.
In summary, President Tinubu’s vision for Nigeria centers on harnessing the nation’s abundant resources to eliminate poverty and foster prosperity.
