Minister of Works, Engr. David Umahi , has called on Nigerians to unite behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a brighter future.
He made the call in an Independence Day message marking Nigeria at 65.
The minister said the occasion calls to mind the sacrifices, visions, and aspirations of our heroic leaders who played prominent roles in shaping the trajectory of Nigeria’s journey towards independence and national development.
He added that it also inspires reflections on the milestones achieved and the challenges that confront Nigeria’s nationhood.
According to him, Tinubu on his emergence provided a turning point in the developmental trajectory of our nation through his Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The coming on board of the Renewed Hope administration of our dear President has provided a turning point to the wheels of the developmental progress of our nation. Mr. President is changing the developmental trajectory of our nation through his Renewed Hope Agenda designed to turn our challenges into opportunities and our diversities into prosperity.
“Today, the benefits are manifest. He has returned our country to the part of glory through massive investment in the critical infrastructure across the 6 geopolitical zones and through other social economic interventions that now stimulate progressive and sustainable economic growth,”.
In the works sector, he said the president has addressed the burden of inherited road infrastructural deficits across Nigeria.
He added that the four legacy projects are a part of measures to expand the frontiers of the economic ecosystems and stimulate the geometric growth of our nation’s GDP and Nigerians are witnesses to the progress he has so far made on road infrastructural development.
“As we celebrate a new dawn in our journey of nationhood, may the spirit of freedom and unity continue to inspire every Nigerian to strive for a brighter future and may the liberties we cherish inspire us to keep the integrity of our nation. Let’s take a pledge to protect the peace, diversity, harmony, and unity of our great nation,” he said.
