The Power of Infrastructure in Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda

In every nation’s journey toward development, infrastructure stands as the backbone of progress. From roads and railways to power plants and ports, no economy can thrive without a solid foundation. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu understands this truth deeply, and under his Renewed Hope Agenda, infrastructure is not just a project; it’s a philosophy for national rebirth.

President Tinubu’s administration inherited a country yearning for better connectivity between farms and markets, states and cities, people, and opportunities. The Renewed Hope Agenda seeks to bridge this gap through massive investments in transportation, power, housing, and industrial infrastructure.

Projects like the Eastern Rail Line and Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway symbolize a deliberate effort to unify Nigeria economically and geographically, opening up trade corridors that will drive growth for decades.

Infrastructure development has a multiplier effect. Every kilometre of road constructed creates jobs, empowers local suppliers, and stimulates commerce. Tinubu’s government has recognized this, ensuring that every major project contributes directly to GDP growth, employment, and industrial expansion.

Recent reports show unprecedented activities in the construction and manufacturing sectors, signaling renewed investor confidence under this administration.

No economy can grow without reliable power. The Tinubu government’s focus on gas development and power sector reforms aims to end decades of erratic energy supply that crippled industries. With multibillion-dollar investments from Shell, TotalEnergies, and Seplat, Nigeria is on course to become an energy-secure nation capable of fueling its industrial base and exporting clean energy to the region.

Unlike past administrations that concentrated infrastructure in a few regions, President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Blueprint ensures balanced growth. From road dualization in the North, seaport modernization in the South, to agricultural processing zones in the Middle Belt, the APC government is ensuring that every zone benefits from the dividends of development.

President Bola Tinubu’s approach to infrastructure goes beyond short-term gains. It is a generational investment in Nigeria’s future, designed to position the nation as West Africa’s economic hub. With new rails, highways, ports, and industrial corridors, Nigeria is laying the groundwork for a $1 trillion economy by 2030.

Infrastructure is the power that drives development, and under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it is driving hope, jobs, and prosperity.

The Renewed Hope Agenda isn’t a slogan; it’s a practical roadmap transforming the physical and economic landscape of Nigeria. Every bridge, every road, every rail line is a step toward a stronger, more united, and more prosperous nation.

The Federal Government has just taken a major step toward restoring financial stability and investor confidence in the electricity market with the finalization of the ₦4 trillion Presidential Power Sector Debt Reduction Plan.

This isn’t just another policy announcement, it’s a bold, strategic move approved by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and endorsed by the FEC to finally fix the financial mess that has long crippled Nigeria’s power sector.

For years, unpaid debts owed to power generation companies (GenCos) and gas suppliers have been the biggest drag on the sector, choking liquidity, discouraging investment, and weakening the ability to deliver reliable electricity.

With this new plan, the government is taking a clean, structured approach to clear those verified arrears through the issuance of government-backed bonds. It’s not a bailout, it’s a reset.

The meeting in Abuja between the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun; the Minister of Power, Chief Bayo Adelabu; and the President’s Special Adviser on Energy, Olu Verheijen, alongside top executives of GenCos, sealed the framework. They agreed on a realistic settlement process through bilateral negotiations that balance the government’s fiscal realities with the financial strain on the operators.

For once, there’s a proper system in place to verify debts, negotiate transparently, and settle what is due.

Interestingly, the plan isn’t just about paying debts; it’s about rebuilding trust and confidence in the entire power value chain. As Tony Elumelu rightly said, this is the first credible and systematic effort by the government to tackle the root liquidity issues in the power sector. Kola Adesina of Sahara Group echoed it — this move gives genuine hope that reforms are finally being backed by action.

Nigeria’s Coal Mining Comeback and the Rise of the Solid Minerals Sector

Nigeria’s coal mining industry has made a remarkable rebound, recording a 57.5% growth in the second quarter (Q2) after suffering a 22% decline in Q1. This turnaround signals a renewed drive to harness the country’s vast mineral wealth as part of President Tinubu’s broader agenda to diversify the economy beyond oil.

Coal mining’s sharp recovery reflects the increasing investment and policy focus on solid minerals as a key driver of economic growth.

With global demand for alternative energy and industrial inputs rising, Nigeria is positioning itself as a competitive source of coal, lithium, gold, and other strategic minerals.

The solid mineral sector is fast becoming pivotal to Nigeria’s economic diversification efforts, contributing to job creation, industrial raw materials, and foreign exchange earnings.

Government policies are now emphasizing:

1. Value addition: Encouraging local processing of minerals rather than raw exports.

2. Transparency and regulation: Curbing illegal mining and improving revenue collection.

3. Attracting private investments through reforms in the mining framework and incentives.

Coal’s resurgence is not just a statistical bounce; it’s a symbol of Nigeria’s broader industrial revival. A thriving mining sector boosts energy availability, export potential, and supports the manufacturing and power sectors, helping to stabilize the naira and strengthen economic resilience.

In short, Nigeria’s coal mining recovery underscores a strategic shift, from dependency on crude oil to building a multi-resource economy, where every mineral in our soil adds value to our national prosperity.

PBAT’s Reforms Attract Shell’s $2 Billion Offshore Gas Investment

Explainer!

Another Major Win for Nigeria’s Gas Sector

Nigeria has recorded another milestone in the global energy space as Shell announces a $2 billion Final Investment Decision (FID) for the HI Offshore Gas Project in OML 144. This is the second major gas investment secured in just 18 months under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, signaling the success of his ongoing oil and gas reforms.
The HI Field project will produce around 350 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d) starting from 2028, nearly one-third of the gas needed for Nigeria LNG Train 7, a strategic national project.

With the latest Shell investment, Nigeria has now attracted over $8 billion in major upstream oil and gas commitments since President Tinubu took office in 2023.

These include:

1. The Ubeta Non-Associated Gas Project

2. The Bonga North Deepwater Project, and now

3. The HI Offshore Gas Project.

These landmark investments demonstrate renewed confidence in Nigeria’s economy, a direct result of President Tinubu’s reform-driven leadership.

The HI gas field, originally discovered in 1985, had remained undeveloped for decades. Through PBAT's Presidential Directive 40, his administration introduced a competitive fiscal framework for Non-Associated Gas projects, especially in shallow offshore areas. This policy unlocked the long-abandoned asset and turned it into a viable investment opportunity.

Together, the HI and Ubeta gas projects are designed to supply up to 15% of Nigeria LNG’s total feedgas requirements, supporting Trains 1 to 7.

This strengthens:

1. Export reliability for Nigeria’s LNG in global markets

2. Local supply of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for domestic cooking and industry

3. Reduction in gas imports, and

4. Boost in foreign exchange earnings.

Since 2024, President Tinubu has issued targeted directives through the Office of the Special Adviser on Energy.

These reforms include:

1. Fiscal incentives for energy investors

2. Streamlined approval processes

3. Reduced contracting and operational costs

4. Legal and regulatory clarity.

These measures, now entrenched in legislation, have repositioned Nigeria as a competitive and credible destination for global energy investments.

Shell’s Upstream President, Peter Costello, reaffirmed the company’s commitment, saying the new FID shows Shell’s confidence in Nigeria’s energy future. The project fits into Shell’s vision of growing its Integrated Gas portfolio while supporting Nigeria’s plan to become a leading LNG exporter.

The NLNG Train 7 expansion project, supported by these new gas fields, will:

1. Increase LNG production capacity by 35%

2. Add 8 million metric tonnes per annum (mtpa) to current output

3. Create thousands of jobs

4. Stimulate small and medium-scale enterprises, and

5. Accelerate economic growth in host communities.

President Bola Tinubu, reacting to Shell’s announcement, said: “This major FID announcement by Shell, their second in one year, is a clear validation of our reform efforts and a signal to the world that Nigeria is fully open for business and investment.”

The President reaffirmed his commitment to sustaining investor confidence through transparent governance, stable policy frameworks, and a pro-business environment.

President Bola Tinubu’s bold reforms are unlocking Nigeria’s gas wealth, turning dormant assets into engines of growth.

With over $8 billion in new FIDs, Nigeria is not only regaining global investor trust but also charting a path toward energy security, export diversification, and economic resilience.

The message is clear, Nigeria is back on the global investment map, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reforms are delivering results.
