In Ebonyi State where Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru played the good host, the federal government delegation inspected the 118km Ebonyi section of the Trans-Saharan Super-Highway in Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi, where work is in progress. This project will have a far-reaching impact on the infrastructure and economic experience of the South-East, North-Central, and South-South zones – opening up arteries of agricultural activity and commerce.
The project will cover Cross River, South-East, North Central – Apo, Abuja Super-Highway — spur of Lagos-Port Harcourt — crossing Enugu State and passing through Ebonyi to Ogoja in northern Cross River State.
The team also visited Abakaliki/Enugu road dualisation project; Oferekpe road, and a number of state government projects.
President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda on infrastructure is on full throttle, and the infrastructure development is across all zones.
The town hall at the Ecumenical Centre, Abakaliki, was electric, colourful, and packed with a vivacious crowd. President Tinubu’s message as delivered by the Minister of Information and National Orientation was resounding: ‘’No region in Nigeria will be left behind.’’
From my perspective as a citizen, the unambiguous and bold statement of the South-East to the President is that of gratitude and support. And as Igwe Asadu puts it: “President Tinubu is the man.’’
