Senator Wadada Commends President Tinubu for Reviving Critical Infrastructure Project, Enhancing Regional Connectivity and Economic Growth
Senator Wadada has lavished praise on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu for his visionary leadership in revitalizing the trans-Saharan trade route project, a legacy initiative aimed at developing critical infrastructure in Nigeria. The Federal Ministry of Works, in a stakeholder engagement, presented the proposed road alignment for the 284km route connecting Cross River, Ebonyi, Benue, Kogi, Nasarawa, and Abuja, a move hailed as a significant step towards enhancing regional connectivity and economic growth.
In his goodwill message, Senator Wadada commended President Tinubu for his relentless commitment to infrastructure development, a trait he demonstrated in the second republic and has continued to exhibit in his current tenure. The Senator expressed his wholehearted support for the Renewed Hope agenda, acknowledging its potential to ease mobility, enhance critical infrastructure, and stimulate economic growth in the regions.
The people of Nasarawa State, in a show of solidarity, welcomed the project, recognizing its transformative potential. Senator Wadada, in his remarks, solicited for the inclusion of Nasarawa State as a vital link between North Central and North East, drawing parallels with the northeast. He emphasized the strategic importance of Nasarawa State, highlighting its potential to facilitate seamless connectivity between the two regions.
Furthermore, Senator Wadada drew attention to the Tunga village in Awe local government area, which shares a border with Taraba State. He urged the Minister to connect the bridge, thereby linking North Central and North East, and facilitating access to Abuja within two hours. This, he believes, will enhance commercial activities, promote economic growth, and strengthen security in the region.
Senator Wadada's commendation of President Tinubu and his support for the project demonstrate his commitment to the development of critical infrastructure in Nigeria. His efforts to promote regional connectivity and economic growth align with the Renewed Hope agenda, poised to transform the nation's infrastructure landscape.
