I TOOK AN OATH TO SERVE EVERY NIGERIAN, NOT A SECTION – TINUBU
President Bola Tinubu has emphasized that the oath he took upon assuming office was to serve every Nigerian without bias.
According to him, this commitment underpins the various infrastructure and development projects currently being undertaken across the country.
Reassuring citizens that no one will be left out, Tinubu urged Nigerians to have confidence in the nation’s future.
His remarks were shared on X by his Special Adviser, Bayo Onanuga.
Quoting the president, Onanuga wrote:
“Dear Nigerians,
“I took an oath to serve all Nigerians, not just a section. That oath guides every bridge, road, rail, power, and health project we deliver.
“From the Lagos–Calabar Highway in the South to the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway in the North; from the Port Harcourt–Maiduguri rail in the East to the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano expressway in the Centre, and the Trans-Saharan highway connecting African countries, these are not local trophies but national assets.
“Health centres are being rehabilitated nationwide, light rail projects in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos, and Ogun have been approved, 250,000 jobs are being created, power supply is being restored in Kaduna through the revived 255MW plant, bridges in Onitsha and Bonny are reconnecting communities, oil exploration is expanding in Bauchi and Gombe, and the AKK pipeline has crossed the Niger.
“Every farmer who needs a road, every trader who needs electricity, every child who needs a school, every patient who needs care… these are the people we are building for.
“This is the equity of Renewed Hope. No Nigerian is second class, and no region will be left behind. Together, we will rise as one nation, one people, with one destiny. Place your bet on Nigeria.”
"This represents a significant development in our ongoing coverage of current events."— Editorial Board
