Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has called on citizens to remain optimistic about the country’s future, expressing confidence that ongoing infrastructure projects will lay the foundation for long-term growth and development.

Speaking on the state of the nation and the Federal Government’s development agenda, Mrs Tinubu described Nigeria as a country with immense potential and assured Nigerians that current investments would deliver lasting benefits despite existing economic challenges.

She pointed to several major infrastructure projects being pursued by President Bola Tinubu’s administration, including road and railway developments aimed at improving transportation, connectivity and economic activity across the country.

“Nigeria is such a great country, and now you can see airports imagined. So I know you will say the flights are so expensive. Everywhere in the world, even in America, flights are expensive,” she said.

The First Lady noted that the government is working to expand alternative transport options through strategic projects such as the coastal highway and the continued development of the national rail network.

“And that’s what Mr President is doing, coastal roads, not only coastal roads, even trying to have rail lines. I know the previous administration started the rail line, and we will continue with the building,” she stated.

Mrs Tinubu emphasised that the administration’s commitment to infrastructure development is designed to strengthen the economy and improve the quality of life for citizens.

Acknowledging the challenges currently facing many Nigerians, she expressed hope that the country’s investments would eventually translate into tangible benefits for the population.

“Nigeria has a huge future ahead of it, and by the grace of God, very soon, we all will be beneficiaries of the success of what Nigeria will become,” she added.

Her remarks come amid ongoing public discussions about the economy, transportation costs and the pace of infrastructure development under the current administration.
