President Bola Tinubu explained that administration’s focus on infrastructure and economic reforms was aimed at improving citizens’ well-being and long-term national growth.
Tinubu said the reforms were targeted at easing living conditions, stimulating enterprise, and creating sustainable opportunities for Nigerians across sectors and regions.
The president gave the explanation on Saturday in Iperu, Ogun State, during the inauguration of the Gateway Cargo International Airport built by Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration.
He described the airport as a strategic gateway for trade, investment and industrial expansion, positioning Ogun as a key logistics hub.
The president also unveiled newly acquired aircraft under Gateway Airline, marking a milestone in the state’s aviation and logistics development drive.
Tinubu said the airline would enhance connectivity, reduce travel bottlenecks and support business activities within and beyond the state.
“Our investment is about our people. The infrastructure underscores our faith and belief that today’s foundation is for tomorrow’s prosperity,” Tinubu said.
He added that government projects must directly impact livelihoods, create jobs and strengthen confidence in Nigeria’s economic future.
Commending Governor Abiodun’s commitment to residents’ welfare, Tinubu noted that it aligned with his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He said collaboration between federal and state governments were essential to achieving inclusive and balanced national development.
The president further noted that stable energy supply was critical to efficient airport operations and broader industrial growth.
“Development must touch every level. I am pleased with the mobility, security and agricultural initiatives delivered today,” he added.
He stressed that no sector should be left behind in the country’s development agenda, particularly rural and productive communities.
Tinubu also inaugurated 1,000 electric bikes, security vehicles and tractors to boost transport, safety and agricultural productivity.
He said the equipment would improve last-mile mobility, strengthen security presence and support mechanised farming across the state.
Tinubu said the electric bikes initiative represented a smart response to modern transport needs and supports cleaner, technology-driven mobility systems.
He added that the initiative aligned with global trends toward environmentally friendly and cost-efficient transportation solutions.
Tinubu commended Nigerians for sustaining faith in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), noting reforms had increased resources available to sub-national governments.
