The President of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu has asserted that the completion of critical infrastructure projects across the country by his administration was a clear example of what the country was capable of achieving when its leaders decide to work together towards a common goal, irrespective of political divide and personal interest.
Accordingly, he noted that the commissioning of the expanded outer southern expressway, OSEX, completed by the FCT administration, was a testament to the power of collaboration and partnership that goes beyond political and other affiliations.
The President stated this at the presidential commissioning ceremony of the full-scope development of OSEX from Villa roundabout to Ring road 1 (RR1) in Abuja.

Tinubu, who was represented by his deputy, Vice President Kashim Shettima, noted that the expanded outer southern expressway held profound significance for the FCT, its residents and visitors.
“The completion of this project is not only a piece of engineering but a testament to the power of collaboration and partnership.
‘’It is a shining example of what we can accomplish when we work together towards a common goal, transcending political divide and personal interest for the greater good of our nation,” he declared.
“I thank the Minister, Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, and his team for quickening development and giving the residents of Abuja renewed hope,” he stated, reaffirming his administration’s dedication to enhancing the quality of life for all Nigerians.
Meanwhile, Tinubu had earlier justified the reintroduction of the old national anthem ‘Nigeria, we Hail thee,’ stressing that it was a priority for him.
Africa Today News, New York recalls that Tinubu had last week signed a bill bringing back the old national anthem in a move that triggered criticisms from several quarters.
But during a meeting with the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu dismissed the critics, insisting the reintroduction of the old anthem is not a misplaced priority as some have argued.
