Tinubu Launches Major Projects in Jigawa State

On November 10, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu commissioned four multi-billion-naira projects executed by the Jigawa State Government during his first official working visit to the state since assuming office on May 29, 2023. The projects, located within the Dutse metropolis, were commissioned virtually from the Dutse Township Stadium, coinciding with an APC presidential campaign rally.

The projects include the Renewed Hope Technical Services Fabrication Centre, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Multipurpose Skills Acquisition Centre, a 3.5-kilometre dualized road from Kiyawa Road to Garu Emir’s Palace, and the state’s agricultural mechanization program, which features 400 tractors and various agricultural equipment. Tinubu emphasized that these initiatives align with his Renewed Hope Agenda, focusing on productivity, skills development, and food security.

He also assured Nigerians of stable electricity supply, stating his administration would adopt a model to ensure reliable power rather than total privatization of power sector assets. Governor Umar Namadi expressed gratitude for Tinubu's presence and highlighted the significance of the projects in improving lives in Jigawa.
