President Bola Tinubu has expressed confidence that his “Renewed Hope” agenda will soon bring significant benefits to all Nigerians, despite facing challenges. He made this statement during the funeral service for the late Chief Michael Adeniyi Koleosho, former Secretary to the Oyo State Government, held on Saturday at the Ajegunle Baptist Church in Saki, Oyo State.
Represented by Zaccheus Adedeji, the Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue, Tinubu emphasized the critical role of infrastructure development in fostering national unity and progress. He highlighted the Lagos to Calabar coastal highway as a flagship project aimed at enhancing transportation and stimulating economic growth across various regions.
“This project is just the beginning; we are committed to laying down a framework that connects every part of Nigeria,” he stated. Tinubu’s vision is to ensure that no region is left behind as the country works toward a more integrated and prosperous future.
“My aim is to connect the country through infrastructure, which will ultimately yield profits for the benefit of all Nigerians. This vision may take time and effort, but I assure you that the fruits of our labor will soon be evident in every part of Nigeria,” he added.
Reflecting on Chief Koleosho’s legacy, Tinubu praised his humility and dedication to hard work, acknowledging the significant impact Koleosho had on his approach to infrastructure development. “Chief Koleosho was a man of humility and an advocate of hard work, who will be greatly missed. His insights and dedication to public service have greatly influenced my approach to governance,” the President remarked.
