Roads, bridges, railways, and other critical infrastructure require planning, investment, and consistent implementation to deliver lasting benefits.
The Renewed Hope agenda prioritizes infrastructure development. Sustaining projects, completing ongoing works, and ensuring that Nigerians benefit from public investment must remain central to the national development conversation.
The Renewed Hope journey continues. The goal is to consolidate progress, strengthen infrastructure, expand opportunities, and build a better future for Nigerians.
Tinubu Must Stay! The journey towards a stronger Nigeria continues.

From FCT to Nasarawa, Plateau, Kogi, Benue and Kwara, President Tinubu is demonstrating…
@AbiodunEssiet
@instablog9ja Dave Umahi was a two-term governor before becoming Minister of Works. His record in governance and infrastructure speaks for itself. You may disagree with him but dismissing his contributions won’t erase his track record.
The President commissioned the outstanding sections of the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano road, Lot 1, comprising 81 km of continuously reinforced concrete pavement, from Abuja (Tunga Maje) to Jere, during the flag-off in Kaduna.
This is renewed hope in action. @AbiodunEssiet@FMWNIG

This is renewed hope in action. Tinubu must state. @woye1@FMWNIG@NGRPresident
Even as President Tinubu participates in the campaign flag-off in #RenewedHopeInKaduna for #RenewedHope2_0, governance continues without pause.
The 401km LAMBATA–BIDA–MOKWA–MAKERA–KONTAGORA ROAD project is advancing rapidly.
Works Minister Umahi says Southeast’s 2023 vote for Peter Obi reflected anger over marginalisation, argues Tinubu’s infrastructure and appointments have changed region’s outlook. @~Abiodun Essiet
