Khadijat Omotayo, the Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Constituency Affairs, says the president is running a non-partisan and all-inclusive administration.

Ms Omotayo said this during a town hall meeting with some critical stakeholders on Saturday in Jos, Plateau State capital.

“I want to assure you that the Tinubu administration is non-partisan; it is devoid of ethnic or religious sentiments.

“The president is running an all-inclusive, transparent and accountable government; he is building a better future and laying a solid foundation for the next generation,” said Ms Omotayo

She said the town hall aimed to get feedback from the state stakeholders on the government’s projects, policies, and programmes.

“My role is to ensure that the concerns of Nigerians are properly addressed by the president.

“So, let’s support him to succeed. This is why I have come to Plateau to hear your concerns and take them to the president for immediate action,” she said.

Ms Omotayo said the federal government had concluded arrangements to commence the dualisation of the Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe road.

The president’s aide particularly called on the youth to support the president in his bid to move Nigeria to the next level.

Governor Caleb Mutfwang, represented by Musa Ashoms, the state Commissioner for Youth and Sports Development, thanked Ms Omotayo for organising the meeting in Plateau.

The governor, however, said his administration had put measures in place to boost agriculture, education, healthcare services, youth empowerment, and infrastructure.

The meeting had traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth and women groups, representatives of various labour unions, and ethnic nationalities.
