Sometimes, when I look back at the PDP era, I ask myself: Are Nigerians even grateful?
Imagine if the PDP administration had built all the major roads that the APC administration is building now. By now, our concentration would not be on road infrastructure. Unfortunately, the PDP era was worse at building long-term projects in Nigeria.
Thank God that today we have a President who cares about the future of our country.
Across the country, several major road projects are ongoing, including some that were abandoned by the PDP administration.
PBAT till 2031.
In Kabo, we empowered over 1,000 beneficiaries through our #NSEP.
This is what impact means to us: taking @NASENIHQ’s solutions directly to communities, improving livelihoods and creating opportunities for Nigerians.
My appreciation to the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator @barauijibrin; the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Murtala Sule Garo; and all stakeholders whose support contributed to the success of this intervention.
Together, we are turning innovation into impact.

BREAKING: THE MINISTER OF INTERIOR HON OLUBUNMI TUNJI-OJO INAUGURATES INDEPENDENT PROBE COMMITTEE.
Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has inaugurated an Independent Committee to investigate the reported deaths of 37 persons in NSCDC custody in Niger State, reaffirming the commitment of the Ministry to transparency, accountability and respect for the rule of law.
The Committee has been given a two-week timeframe to thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the reported deaths, establish the facts and submit its findings.
Importantly, the Committee is independent and expected to carry out its assignment without interference, allowing the investigation to objectively establish what transpired and identify any areas of responsibility.
Where the investigation establishes culpability, justice will be served and appropriate action taken against any officer found responsible. This underscores the principle that accountability applies to everyone and that allegations involving the protection and welfare of persons in custody must be treated with the seriousness they deserve.
The inauguration of the Committee therefore represents a clear commitment to JUSTICE, ACCOUNTABILITY and INDEPENDENCE ensuring that the truth is established and that the appropriate steps are taken based on the findings of an independent investigation.
