Tinubu Calls for Transparency in Governance and Accountability

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu expressed frustration regarding governance and infrastructure accountability during a recent address. He urged Nigerians to engage actively in governance by questioning the authorization and costs of infrastructure projects, such as flyovers, and to inquire about the allocation of funds from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC).

Tinubu emphasized that transparency should not be a one-time occurrence but rather an institutionalized practice, encouraging citizens to demand clarity on how state funds are utilized. He called for a culture where citizens regularly ask their governors about financial allocations and the impact of infrastructure choices on their communities.

This approach aims to ensure that governance is visible and accountable, ultimately protecting citizens' interests rather than merely enhancing political imagery ahead of elections.
