Northern Nigerian leaders hail Tinubu on infrastructural developments

Prominent leaders from Northern Nigeria have expressed satisfaction with President Bola Tinubu’s performance on infrastructural development in the region.

According to the leaders, President Tinubu has fulfilled the promises he made to the geopolitical zone during the 2023 presidential election.

These positions were made known during a two-day interactive session on government-citizen engagement, held in Kaduna on July 29–30, 2025.

The interactive session was organised by the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation.

In a communiqué issued at the end of the meeting and signed by the foundation’s Director-General, Engr. Abubakar Gambo Umar, on Thursday, cited infrastructure projects for commendation included highways, the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano, AKK gas pipeline, oil exploration at Kolmani, and rural irrigation schemes.

“The summit concluded that Northern Nigeria acknowledges and commends the administration’s high performance in fulfilling its electoral promises in many areas and also appreciates subsisting challenges.

“The government demonstrated openness to dialogue and continuous citizen engagement. The administration’s delivery of electoral promises in security, infrastructure, and economic reforms was high and commendable. Northern Nigeria contributes significantly to national stability, development, and electoral outcomes,” the communiqué read.

Recall that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, in its July monthly report, said the $2.8 billion AKK project is 83 per cent completed.

Recently, the state-owned oil firm announced that it had drilled four oil wells in the Kolmani area of Bauchi State.
