APC's Yilwatda Promotes Tinubu's Infrastructure for 2027

Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, asserted that the infrastructural projects initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration will serve as a significant advantage for the party in the upcoming 2027 general elections. During an inspection of the Akwanga, Jos, and Gombe section of the Trans-Sahara Superhighway, Yilwatda referred to these projects as an “unbeatable campaign asset.” He emphasized that the Akwanga-Jos section, a 125-kilometre stretch of a larger superhighway, aims to enhance connectivity, security, and economic activity across Nigeria.

Yilwatda highlighted the project’s longevity, targeting a lifespan of over 100 years before maintenance is required. The superhighway will connect various regions, covering over 1,400 kilometres.

He noted that the project includes security features such as surveillance cameras and police outposts, enhancing community welfare. Yilwatda remarked on the historical neglect of the Akwanga-Jos corridor and the substantial financial commitment of hundreds of billions of naira to the project.
