President Tinubu while inaugurating the infrastructure, praised Governor Sule for his efficient use of public funds.
The governor noted that the one-kilometre interchange was completed within a year without resorting to external borrowing. He also revealed that the infrastructure will now be known as the “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Interchange” in honor of the President.
Following the inauguration, Tinubu visited the Emir of Lafia’s palace and oversaw the distribution of 60 security vehicles to law enforcement agencies. He also empowered local youths with 50 electric tricycles and supported farmers with tractors and agricultural equipment at Lafia Square.
In addition, the President commissioned the newly dualised Shendam Road and the modern Nasarawa State Secretariat Complex, and later participated in a town hall meeting at the Aliyu Akwe Doma Banquet Hall.
He was accompanied by prominent political figures, including APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje and governors from Niger, Benue, Kwara, Kaduna, Imo, Ogun, and Borno States.
“It is a great honour for me to be here, feeling at home, feeling very welcomed and to inaugurate this project.
“I salute the prudent management of resources, commitment of value given by the Governor of our dear state. I therefore commission this project.
“Your Excellency, this is the first project that you are going to commission for us. It is actually a combination of an underpass and a flyover covering one kilometre, and this road was built within one year because of your reforms.
“We have paid the contractor 100 per cent without borrowing one naira. Because of your own reforms, that is why we have been able to do this in a state like Nasarawa.”
