President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commissioned the Lekki Deep Sea Port Access Road in Lagos State, constructed under Nigeria’s Tax Credit Scheme, as he reaffirmed his istration’s commitment to transformative infrastructure development across the country — including strategic road projects in Northern Nigeria.

Speaking during the inauguration ceremony, President Tinubu emphasized that transport infrastructure is the “lifeblood of economic development,” stating that roads constructed under the Renewed Hope Agenda are aimed at strengthening regional connectivity, facilitating trade, and boosting national productivity.

“From Lagos to Kano, Warri to Zaria, this istration is laying down a new architecture of growth,” President Tinubu declared. “Our roads must reflect the scale of our ambition.”

The Lekki Port Road: A Key Trade Artery

The newly inaugurated concrete road connects the Lekki Deep Sea Port, one of West Africa’s most modern maritime terminals, with the hinterland and existing logistics networks. It is designed to ensure seamless movement of goods, reduce traffic congestion, and lower transportation costs — particularly for agricultural exports and manufactured goods.

The road was delivered through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) under the Federal Government’s Tax Credit Scheme, which allows corporate entities to invest in public infrastructure in exchange for tax rebates. Tinubu lauded the scheme as a model of “effective private-sector collaboration for national growth.”

Renewed Focus on Northern Nigeria

The President also announced the rollout of critical infrastructure projects in the North, signaling his government’s intention to bridge the infrastructure gap nationwide. Some of the key projects include:

Kano–Kongolam Road (Section II)

Kano–Kanwar–Danja–Hadejia Road

Yakasai–Zalli Road

Several rural access roads to link remote farming communities with urban markets

These projects, Tinubu noted, will improve farm-to-market access, food security, and integrate rural economies into the national grid.

He further assured that ongoing federal infrastructure projects such as the Abuja–Kaduna–Kano Expressway, Benin–Warri Road, and multiple federal bridges will receive expedited attention in the coming months.

“Whether in the North, South, East, or West, we are building roads that connect not just communities but destinies,” Tinubu affirmed.

The President concluded by reiterating that infrastructure development under his leadership is national in scope, designed to drive inclusive growth, promote unity, and lay the foundation for a modern Nigerian economy.

Commendable

God bless His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

..

I am proud of our president. More Grace to do more sir. Let them continue coalitioning, they will meet their collision

Nice one from the president!



A very big kundus to him!

Does the road lead to bourdillon because he's heading back through this road on his way out in 2027.

#Back to Bourdillon

Good

Nigerians across the regions would be bribed with several projects

Good one

Ride on baba

They should be fast and finish the Eleko to refinery road and reconnect our transformer. We have been without light since this year

#Back to Bourdillon

Do you have issue with development news? How come the news about this project is none of your business yet saying something entirely different?

Slow but steady and win the race.

He’ll have the votes of all the politicians and his 55% loyalists from a certain region what are bent on destroying the country as long as their kinsman is ruling.

The “loyalists” who praised Buhari for 8 years as the best, but condemned him as the worst immediately after he left office. The ones who project the bad things they do others. The ones who infiltrated JAMB and other institutions with sinister ethnic agenda.

The rest 75% of votes belong to Nigerians

So which vote will bring about this in 2027? Nigerian votes or 5% votes?

I just saw on front page that Ugwu Promise Nnenna's husband was recently arrested in India for powder dealing. Is it true?

While some people's legacy is a brewery and how he used to buy fuel in government vehicles by himself and how he had one shoe and one wristwatch for seventeen years, Tinubu shows workings:

1. The coastal highway is active. 30 km is done.

2. Tinubu started the student loans to reduce the burden on indigent parents.

3. The fraudulent oil subsidy was canceled. This allowed increased allocations to states. States are now solvent.

4. Tinubu accomplished local government autonomy.

5. We have not heard much complaints from ASUU. Judicial workers are also happy. Well, they were on strike earlier this week, which was called off immediately.

6. The salaries of judges were increased.

7. There are now development commissions for the geopolitical zones.

8. Southern Kaduna has felt federal interventions in of a hospital and tertiary institutions.

9. Insecurity is being tackled.

10. Nigeria is united.

11. Peter Obi, lost the elections.

Thanks to Tinubu, Nigeria now has, for the first time in history, an association of bitter senior political refugees desperately searching for relevance and power.

If only we can have a Lagos type in every zone, perhaps Lagos won't be as congested as this.

lagos will collapse into the sea soon.

The student loan is being embezzled .

Subsidy isn't gone brother. It's there right before our eyes.

Insecurity is being tackled? I doubt that , it is same Benue heardmen's killings we have been hearing since. Same Jos and Plateau killings .
Some police extra judiciary killings and mal treatments.

Nigeria being united? I have never in my life ft the tribal tensions as much as I am feeling it now. Except we want to lie to ourselves. we currently have factions of Yoruba like Yoruba Roni, Yoruba first, Igbo first. It's evident even here on Nairaland. Recent example is the last Jamb results, how did we get to the point that we started point of accusing tribes for mass failing candidates on purpose? How?

Brother. Let's not lie to ourselves. Everything is glaring . We we see the truth Let's talk irrespective which side it swings to. Corruption is still at its peak.

I am pro Development. Coastal Highway , I like and honestly, they are moving at a fast pace. Unlike before that projects will take years to begin.
Just thinking about it, you are right o. Being a while ASUU gone on strike. Tinubu must be doing something right about that then .
Also, talking about electricity, it has improved truly. Power is predictable and it seems we are getting closer to 24hrs daily supply. We can debate the cost later but light dey dey sha.

Face the topic and stop behaving like schiz patient.

Na schiz patient they always talk off point and topic

How many kilometers?

Yorubas make una enjoy na una turn. See as their tongues the twist

God bless BAT

Tinubu looking at the keyboard without doing anything to avoid una wahala.
The other time, he "tasted" the microphone and you people almost dragged him to death.
He raised his walking stick to hail Nigeria (he already had the "Nigeria, we hail thee" anthem in mind) during the national anthem and he barely survived the dragging.
This time around, baba was just looking at the keyboard even though in his mind, he was wondering what kind of padlock the tiny square keys will open.
And why are the keys not even in a bunch?
Anyway, he just stared to avoid una wahala
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Who is embezzling the student loan?

Can you explain who is collecting subsidy, and how it is paid? I really want to know.

As for insecurity, also balance your views about terrorists sent to the afterlife daily.

I don't like this man but I believe no one can solve Nigeria problems with one term of ruling. At least he is trying when it comes to projects and disbursement of funds. He needs to tackle high cost of living, insecurity and poor road networks. It would be nice if we actually had competent police force for ones.

Until I recover from my sudden financial upturn as a result of your policies,I won’t praise you. Until,all what I’ve been lost to inflation is recovered in same govt,I won’t worship you PBAT.

Sanwó Olú was conspicuously absent.
Life rolled by as though he didn't exist.
We cannot pretend that all is well, though

The infrastructural development that Tinubu will achieve before he leaves Aso Rock will be unprecedented in any part of this world.

A man of his word who will never crumble or give in to some irresponsible and myopic criticism, it's true there's hunger in the land but who caused it? It's your laziness, you have been hungry before Tinubu came to power and you will be hungry when another person gets there, why? Because you are lazy and never want to do anything for yourself

Okay
