President Bola Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to enhancing the quality of life for all Nigerians on Monday in Abuja.

Represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, Mr Tinubu stated this at the commissioning of the expansion of the Outer Southern Expressway (OSEX) from the Villa Roundabout to Ring Road 1 (RRI).

He said expanding the outer southern motorway would improve transportation and stimulate economic growth.

Mr Tinubu said, “I reaffirm my administration’s dedication to enhancing the quality of life for all Nigerians. What is unfolding in the federal capital is a testament to what can be achieved by the government’s renewed hope agenda of quality transformation of the FCT and, indeed, Nigeria.

“This ambitious undertaking holds profound significance for the FCT and its residents. With additional interchanges, we are enhancing connectivity and accessibility, making it easier for residents and visitors to navigate our beautiful capital city.”

The president commended FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and his team for their leadership and dedication to uplifting the capital city.

He said, “Wike is redefining the meaning and concepts of modern leadership in Nigeria.

“The president is mightily proud of you for your dedication, for your persistence, for your courage, and for the will to do well.”

Mr Tinubu noted that under Mr Wike’s leadership, FCT had witnessed remarkable strides in infrastructural development, urban planning, and sustainable growth.

“Under Wike, we have proven to the world that what counts is leadership, and what this nation needs is quality leadership.

“The completion of this motorway expansion is not merely a field of engineering but a testament to the power of collaboration and partnership.

“It is a shining example of what we can accomplish when we work together towards a common goal transcending political divide and personal interest for the greater good of our nation,” the president said.
