The Tinubu Media Volunteers (TMV) have described the recent approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of N4.2 trillion for sundry infrastructural projects across the country as unprecedented.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Chukwudi Enekwechi and Secretary, Shedrach Sunday, TMV noted that it could not recall any previous administration doing anything close to it.
It said: “The recent Federal Executive Council’s approval of N4.2 trillion for various infrastructural projects is a glaring sign that Nigerians would soon witness an unprecedented development trajectory under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
“We note with joy that the Federal Executive Council had at a recent two-day meeting presided over by President Tinubu gave approvals including; N80 billion for the Alao Dam in Borno State, N1.334 trillion for the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway (130 kilometers dual carriageway) and N470.9 bllion for the access roads in Delta State to the Second Niger bridge.
“Others are N148 billion for the Anambra State access roads to the second Niger bridge, N195 billion for Lagos-Ibadan expressway phase 2 and N203.6 billion for infrastructural projects in the Federal Capital Territory.
“At first glance, we saw that the FEC approvals incorporate many projects spanning across the country and in all the geo-political zones of Nigeria, and this we acknowledge as a great move.
“With these approvals, we believe that for the first time in Nigeria’s history, we are going to witness a tremendous improvement in infrastructural development under the Tinubu administration.
“For us, it is a fact that the government of President Tinubu is in a hurry to develop Nigeria and evidence abound in all parts of the country and it is not surprising that the country has been turned into a huge construction site with roads and other life-enhancing projects being executed in all the regions,” TMV said
It added that it shows that the federal government is development-oriented and focused on ensuring that the gains of the fuel subsidy removal are being utilized for the benefit of all Nigerians.
