Tinubu Informed on Food Prices, Focuses on Road Repairs
Abiodun Essiet, the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Community Engagement for North-Central, confirmed that President Tinubu is regularly briefed on food prices, including bread and eggs, countering the belief that only journalists understand the hardships faced by Nigerians. Essiet, who is also the presidency’s representative for the North Central Citizens’ Assembly, spoke to State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
She emphasized that the administration prioritizes infrastructure development, referencing her visit to the Mokwa-Bida road in Niger State, which has not been contracted for repairs in 46 years. Essiet noted the dangers posed by the road, including accidents involving trailers.
President Tinubu has directed that the road be reconstructed using reinforced concrete to ensure its durability, rather than ordinary asphalt.
