The Federal Government plans to mobilize 4,000 social media influencers to showcase infrastructure projects and communicate achievements to Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general elections. This initiative aims to directly engage with the public, especially young people, about the projects being executed nationwide. The Minister of Works, David Umahi, expressed pride in the President's infrastructure achievements and emphasized the importance of telling the nation's story.
The National Association of Nigerian Students' inspection of federal road projects in Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna, and Sokoto states revealed areas needing additional infrastructure, particularly pedestrian bridges near tertiary institutions. Umahi promised to address these needs, including pedestrian bridges and safety measures in future road projects.
The minister also addressed concerns over vandalism on the ongoing Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, threatening to close the 105-kilometer section if the issue persists. Umahi commended the students for their proactive approach to assessing public projects and urged others to follow their example.
