Amid the harsh economic realities faced by Nigerians, Senate President Godswill Akpabio has commended Bola Tinubu for what he described as a remarkable transformation of Abuja and other Nigerian cities, likening them to London within a year of his administration.
Mr. Akpabio made the remarks on Wednesday while delivering a speech during the presentation of the 2025 budget proposal by Tinubu.
“Notably, your infrastructural renaissance has paved the way, including the Coastal Road—a crucial axis in Abuja capital city. Imagine Abuja now looking almost like London and other parts of our country,” Mr Akpabio noted.
Mr Akpabio further said that the economic reforms of Mr Tinubu had started yielding positive results, emphasizing “commendable” efforts by the administration to address security challenges in the country.
Highlighting the positive outcomes of Nigeria’s bilateral relations with foreign nations, Senate President Godswill Akpabio remarked that Nigerians now enjoy greater ease of travel, as many countries have increased their respect for Nigerian nationals.
