President Bola Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s commitment to ensuring equitable infrastructure development across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones under his Renewed Hope Agenda.In an infographic released by the presidency on Monday, the federal government highlighted ongoing projects and spending allocations across different regions to foster fairness, justice, and shared prosperity. The projects span key sectors such as road construction, rail, energy, power, and healthcare.
According to the report, over N10 trillion has been allocated for national infrastructure projects, distributed across all zones with a breakdown showing that the largest chunk has gone to the North-West which received N5.97 trillion followed by the South-South with N2.41 trillion, the North-Central got N1.13 trillion, while the South-West and South-East were allocated N604 billion and N407 billion respectively, and the North-East had N400 billion.
The report indicated that more than 1,000 primary health centres have been rehabilitated nationwide. It also noted that the AKK Gas Pipeline and the 255MW Kaduna Power Plant are at advanced stages of completion. Rail development has also progressed, with the Kano–Maradi line accelerating from 5 per cent to 67 per cent completion.
Some of the flagship road projects include the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway, which spans 750 kilometres with 175 kilometres currently ongoing; the Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway, which covers 1,068 kilometres with 378 kilometres ongoing; the Trans-Sahara Highway, which stretches 465 kilometres with 118 kilometres ongoing; and the Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe road, which has undergone a rigid pavement redesign.
