President Bola Tinubu says the delivery of road infrastructure across Kwali Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) is fortifying the area as a food-producing hub for the territory.
Tinubu, represented by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio stated this in Dafa on Tuesday, while inaugurating the newly constructed Gomani-Dafa-Yangoji Road by the FCT Administration.
According to Tinubu, roads like this keep families together by giving them reasons to stay at home and to build their lives at home.
“When we set out under the Renewed Hope Agenda, we agreed on one thing: development must reach every Nigerian; not just those at the city centre.
The President noted that for too long, the strength of rural communities was held back by poor access roads, with crops rotting away before reaching the market.
He added that young people left rural communities because the roads to their areas were impossible, stressing that instead of taking them up, the roads were bringing them down.
