The administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised to complete ongoing projects left unfinished by the Muhammadu Buhari administration within the next few years.
WITHIN NIGERIA reports that the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Media Centre announced this in a statement on Monday via its official Twitter handle.
The Tinubu media team stated that one of the major focuses of the incoming administration will be the completion of ongoing infrastructure projects.
According to the statement, the media team stated that the incoming government is well aware of President Buhari’s rail system revolution.
This initiative is especially important because Tinubu’s administration has promised to complete ongoing projects within the next few years.
The Tinubu administration also promises to increase the use of the nation’s railways as a cost-effective and safe way to reduce the strain on roads and expressways caused by commercial goods haulage by heavy vehicles traveling long distances.
The statement partly read;
The Lagos – Kano; Benin – Abakaliki; Port Harcourt – Maiduguri; Lagos – Calabar; and Kano – Maradi will be given special attention as his administration hopes to get them completed as soon as possible.
Having been instrumental to the Lagos rail success story, Asiwaju understands that railways are less expensive in the shipment of large quantities of goods from one location to another part of the country.
State Governments will be encouraged to build metro systems in their capital cities. These metros will link up with existing national rail lines and revolutionise urban transport in Nigeria.
This will further boost commerce and contribute significantly to national GDP growth as envisioned in the Renewed Hope policy plan.
The former Lagos State Governor who was declared winner of the recently concluded presidential election returned to the country after spending one month in France.
