In a statement on his social media page on Wednesday, after his visit to the state to commission the newly completed flyover and bypass which the state government named after him.
NEWSMAXNG had reported that the president arrived at the state capital, Lafia accompanied by 5 private jets excluding his own. He was warmly received by the state government and other dignitaries.
During the commissioning, Governor Sule of Nasarawa State had disclosed that the flyover would be called “Bola Ahmed Tinubu Flyover”.
In his statement, the president said the completion of the flyover is a reflection of Nasarawa’s focused, people-centered leadership.
He said; “Today in Nasarawa, I witnessed the results of focused, people-centred leadership, and I was proud to commission projects that reflect what is possible when vision meets action.
“From the Lafia Flyover and State Secretariat Complex, to roads, underpasses, and vital infrastructure, these projects are strategic investments in a state rising with purpose.
“But more than the projects, it is the mindset shift that matters. Nasarawa is building with purpose, investing in its people, creating jobs, empowering women, and ensuring that the gains of democracy are visible in the lives of citizens.
“I commend Governor Sule for translating policy into progress and urge other subnational leaders to do the same. The federal government will continue supporting and partnering with states that are serious about delivery.
“Governor Abdullahi Sule’s commitment to peace and security stood out. His provision of operational vehicles to security agencies strengthens our collective resolve to protect lives and property. A secure Nigeria is a prosperous Nigeria, and Nasarawa is leading by example.”
The president also disclosed that he launched a social project under his Renewed Hope Agenda which he called “Power774, WAVE, and the Clean Cooking Project”.
He disclosed that the project would empower vulnerable families and women with tools.
He added; “I also officially launched the Renewed Hope Social Impact Program for Women, Children, and Families, with real delivery beginning immediately. Through Power774, WAVE, and the Clean Cooking Project, we are empowering rural households, women farmers, and vulnerable families, not with promises, but with practical tools for transformation.
“I commend Nasarawa for becoming a CEDAW City, recognised globally for advancing women’s rights. I also commend HM Women Affairs Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, a tireless advocate and true daughter of Nasarawa state, for giving voice and dignity to the vulnerable through the Ministry’s programmes.
Nasarawa is proof that Renewed Hope is not theory. It is delivery. We must keep building.”
