Eko Hot Blog reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has returned to Abuja for the inauguration of the Southern Parkway.
The road infrastructure stretches from Christian Centre to Ring Road 1 in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city.
This news medium had earlier reported that President Bola Tinubu travelled from Lagos to Abuja this morning to inaugurate several projects completed by the Federal Capital Territory Administration.
Departing from the Presidential Wing of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport at 11:43 a.m., he was accompanied by a host of dignitaries, including Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
Upon arriving at the inauguration site, the President was accompanied by Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), and several other esteemed dignitaries.
The road commissioning is intended to commemorate Tinubu’s first year in office.
Provide Clarity On Fuel Subsidy Payment – Atiku Tells Tinubu
The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election, Atiku Abubakar, has asked President Bola Tinubu to provide clarity on the payment of petrol subsidy.
The former Vice President gave the advice in a statement released in Abuja, on Tuesday.
Atiku also tasked the President to list the fiscal commitments and benefits from the fuel subsidy reform, including its impact on the Federation Accounts.
He said: “It is curious that since April 2024, fuel queues had mounted at many filling stations across Nigeria, and the infamous ‘black market’ has sprouted in several states.
“How much PMS is being imported and distributed, and at what cost? What is the implicit subsidy?”
Speaking further, Atiku said the prevailing state of pervasive insecurity has negatively affected agricultural production and the value it brings to the economy, especially in the Northern region.
He said, “Insecurity resulting from terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and cattle rustling has compelled many crop farmers and pastoralists to abandon their lands and relocate to the neighbouring countries of Niger, Chad, and Cameroun.”
