2027: We’ll Showcase Tinubu’s Achievements In N/West, Others – Renewed Hope Ambassadors

The Renewed Hope Ambassadors(RHA), a main vehicle for President Bola Tinubu’s second term re-election campaign, has announced plans to begin showcasing the administration’s milestone achievements in the northwest geopolitical zone from Thursday and subsequently other zones.

This was announced at the Federal Government North West Projects Media Tour Immersion Workshop held in Abuja on Monday.

Speaking at the workshop, Special Adviser to the President
on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said the Tinubu administration has emarked on impactful projects across the nation, most of which have neared completion.

“This government has done a lot and we want to showcase what we’ve done in the past almost three years now. So what we are doing in starting this journey -national tour is to try to showcase what the Tinubu-led administration has done in the past three years. And this briefing is supposed to give us some window into all those programmes that have been executed across the country.

“They are projects that are in fact directed on our people. If government has built a road somewhere according to its movement, it will help the farmers, it will help the economy. So these are things that we want to go and showcase everywhere.

“The pattern will be that when we go to a state or a zone or we reach a particular state, we are not just showcasing the programme of the federal government but also the programme of the state, because they are all connected.

“Many of the states since Tinubu came into office, they are now able to do a lot of capital projects because they are getting more funds from the centre. And that’s helping them to dream big and embark on many projects which would not have been if the government has not embarked on some major reforms to make money available to the sub-nationals and the local councils,” Onanuga said.

On his part, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Special Duties who is also Director, Media and Publicity of RHA, Tunde Rahman
said the Tinubu administration, has initiated and almost completed major projects in the north, ranging from roads network, health facilities to transportation, especially the rail system.

The presidential aide observed that over the years, a lot of people have complained that not much has been done in the north but that would be addressed after the tour.

Rahman said while Tinubu had campaigned on his personal pidegre and achievements of the APC government in 2023, “this time around, he will be running on his own achievements, and we are saying that a lot has been done.”

“There is so much to showcase, particularly in the northwest. The northwest is very critical and that’s why we are starting from the northwest. We need you people to be with us when we go on that tour so that you can see physically what has been done.

“You can see the achievements yourself and then what we expect is that when you see these achievements, please write on them. Please speak on them. Please invite people to also talk on this achievement, because these achievements are things that have been carefully planned with a view to bringing development to the North.

“Over the years, a lot of people have always complained that not much has been done in the North.Now we have things to showcase. So I implore you to articulate what you will be seeing beginning from Thursday, so that Nigerians can be convinced about what has been done by Mr President,” he added.

Presenting the achievements of President Tinubu in the health sector, Senior Special Assistant to the Minister of Health, Chinedu Moghalu said as at
Q3 2025, the ministry achieved 37 out of the 41 indicators set out by the present administration.

For his part, representative of the National Coordinator, Presidential Initiative for Unlocking Healthcare Value Chains (PVAC), Nasiru Mohammed said through the initiative, the Tinubu-led federal government has transformed the healthcare sector from one that is a drain on the economy to one that is a net positive to the economy.

Mohammed said a major milestone was the signing of an executive order on local manufacturing in 2024 by President Tinubu which seeks to make healthcare sector an economic contributor to the nation.

“It does so by one main key thing, which is to incentivise private sector to locally produce pharmaceuticals and it does so in two key ways. One, shaping the market, making sure that locally produced medicines and pharmaceutical products are made available to each and every Nigerian competitively and produced locally by Nigerian firms.

“At the beginning of the administration, we conducted as a presidential initiative, detailed analytical studies on the healthcare sector when it comes down to local manufacturing. And we identified that by introducing this policy intervention, we would then make local manufacturing competitive for the private sector to locally produce pharmaceutical products and medicines in such a way that it is even competitive as those imported,”he added.

Similarly, Special Assistant to the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Rabiu Ibrahim, said the government of President Tinubu recorded great feat in the area of cancer control with the commissioning of oncology or cancer centres in different zones of the country, including South East(Enugu), Katsina(Northwest), among others.

In the area of agriculture which the north has comparative advantage, he said the Bank of Agriculture which was weakly capitalised in the past, now has a capitalisation to the tune of N1.5 trillion.

Ibrahim also said many students especially in the north have benefited greatly from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) which is novel model in Africa to achieve their educational dreams hitherto thwarted by financial constraints.

Also speaking, Director of Rail Transport Services, federal ministry of transportation, Finbarr Zirra said sector has recorded significant achievements under the Tinubu’s administration and
some of projects, especially the Kaduna-Kano and Kano-Maradi
railway lines would be completed by December this year.

“Now, we’re having Kaduna to Abuja, hopefully by the end of the year, that sector will be linked. Then, the other contract, this one is being handled by the Chinese company. There’s another one, the Portuguese, who are handling Kano to Katsina, to Jibia, and also to Maradi. Maradi is 40 kilometres into Niger. There’s a branch line starting from Kano to Dutse about 100 kilometres.

“The total length of this is about 400 kilometres. And work is progressively going on. I hope that by the end of the year, from Kano to Katsina will be completed.

“Of course, apart from the infrastructure, we have the component of the rolling stock. That’s the train itself that will fly those routes. Those two are in the pipeline. By the time we finish them, they will be ready for movement. Now, we see that the importance of the railway sector cannot be overemphasised, because, like I said, it helps us to save our roads.

“So, the importance to Kano as a hub is that at Kano now, you are going to get a train line linking Kano to Katsina to Maradi. You are going to get a train line from Kaduna to Kano. You are going to get a train line from Dutse to Kano. So, it’s a major hub where a lot of activities will take place. And historically, we know that Kano is a commercial city.

“So, the train, when it comes, there will be safety and movement. When it comes, it will affect even the cost of materials. It has multiple effects. You know, the indirect effects from train line is so enormous that by the time we start coming, we’ll feel the impact in other sectors.

“Now, like I said, there will be dry ports along the line, so that we’ll be able to harness all those activities or commercial investment towards ensuring that with seamless effort, we’re able to bring them together. Now, also, the train sector, if you say that it is cheaper compared to others.

“Most of the time, when you ask people, how much money are you making? Well, we make money, but the effect is felt much more in other sectors.
Now, there’s a high-speed train being proposed. That time, we start from Lagos to Kano, and then also Lagos to Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt to Kano. So you can see that Kano, northwest is central to what the government is doing – investing so much in that region.

“The Kano-Maradi railway project is another huge investment nd like I said, it’s a standard gauge because the colonial masters build what we call narrow. This one is a standard gauge. The difference between this one is that it’s faster and it’s modern, you know? So we are doing what we think is the best,” he added.
