President Bola Tinubu celebrated his first year in office by inaugurating the renovated Third Mainland Bridge on Sunday, along with other infrastructural projects, all before May 29.
A video captured by NN News Media showed supporters of Tinubu following him and chanting his campaign song, “On your mandate we shall stand.” However, Tinubu quickly silenced them with a sigh of shut up, questioning the mandate they were standing on.
The projects commissioned include the concrete-paved road along Apapa and Tin Can Island and the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway. This information was revealed in a press release on Saturday by the Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga stated that on Sunday, May 26, Tinubu would inaugurate the reconstructed road at the Tin Can Island route, a project that began under the Muhammadu Buhari administration. Tinubu will also formally and virtually inaugurate the refurbished Third Mainland Bridge and the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, estimated to cost N15 trillion upon completion.
Tinubu is expected to return to Abuja on Tuesday for another commissioning of the Southern Parkway, constructed by the Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike. On Wednesday, the President will participate in the National Assembly Dialogue Series, after which he will unveil the National Assembly Library Complex, named in his honor.
On the same day, he will relaunch the commercialization of the Abuja Light Rail project, built by the Buhari-led administration. President Tinubu will inaugurate the NASENI-Portland Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Reverse Engineering Centre at Utako on Friday, May 31.
However, the 330 roads to be virtually commissioned, as mentioned by Onanuga, remain unseen.
