President Bola Tinubu’s wife, Oluremi Tinubu, has said that her husband is investing in coastal roads and rail infrastructure as air travel remains expensive worldwide, including in the United States.

Speaking on the state of the nation and ongoing development projects, Mrs Tinubu said Nigeria remains a country with enormous potential despite its numerous challenges.

“Nigeria is such a great country, and now you can see airports imagined. So I know you will say, the flights are so expensive, everywhere in the world, even in America, flights are expensive,” she said.

Mrs Tinubu, a former senator who represented Lagos Central Senatorial District, said the administration is investing in alternative transportation infrastructure to improve connectivity and economic growth.

She said the government is continuing work on the coastal highway project and rail development to improve connectivity and support economic growth across the country.

“And that’s what Mr. President is doing, coastal roads, not only coastal roads, even trying to have rail line. And so l know the previous administration started the rail line, and we will continue with the building,” she stated.

Mrs Tinubu expressed optimism that the country’s ongoing investments would yield positive results and benefit citizens in the near future.

“Nigeria has a huge future ahead of it, and by the grace of God, very soon, we all will be beneficiaries of the success of what Nigeria will become,” she added.
