A former member of the House of Representatives for Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency, Oghene Egoh, has commended President Bola Tinubu’s administration for what he described as significant progress in infrastructure development and bold economic reforms across Nigeria.
Speaking with journalists in Lagos on Sunday, Egoh said the government’s focus on strategic road projects demonstrates a clear commitment to repositioning the country for sustainable economic growth.
He pointed to several ongoing infrastructure projects, with particular emphasis on the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which he described as a landmark initiative with the potential to transform coastal connectivity, boost tourism, and expand trade opportunities within Nigeria’s emerging blue economy.
Egoh described the project as one of the most ambitious in the nation’s history, adding that it reflects a long-term vision for national prosperity.
He also praised the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, noting its expected impact on strengthening North-South trade routes, improving agricultural logistics, and fostering national integration.
According to him, progress on the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano dual carriageway and the accelerated rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway further demonstrate renewed federal attention to critical transport corridors.
“The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is one of the most important economic corridors in Nigeria, and its near completion under President Tinubu is commendable,” Egoh said.
He also highlighted ongoing works on the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway and the expansion of the Bodo-Bonny Road, stating that both projects are improving the movement of goods and people across regions.
Egoh commended the administration’s adoption of reinforced concrete pavement technology for major highways, saying it would enhance durability, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure better value for public investment.
On economic policy, he said President Tinubu’s reforms—including fuel subsidy removal, foreign exchange adjustments, and infrastructure financing strategies—are laying the foundation for long-term stability despite short-term economic pressures.
“Economic reform is never easy, but courageous leadership requires making tough decisions for the greater good,” he noted, adding that the president has shown strong political will in addressing longstanding structural challenges.
Egoh urged Nigerians to remain patient with the administration, expressing optimism that the benefits of ongoing reforms and infrastructure investments would become more visible in the years ahead.
