President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended the gallant efforts of the Nigerian Armed Forces for their unwavering commitment in securing a major national infrastructure project—a strategic highway corridor that had been hindered by insecurity and logistical challenges.
In a statement released by the Presidency, President Tinubu praised the troops for their professionalism, bravery, and relentless dedication in ensuring the successful reopening and protection of the vital highway, which links several critical economic zones and communities.
“This is more than a road—it is a symbol of resilience and progress,” President Tinubu said. “By securing this highway, our armed forces have not only restored free movement and economic activity in affected regions, they have renewed hope for millions of Nigerians who depend on this infrastructure for their daily lives.”
The highway, which had been plagued by disruptions due to criminal activities and insurgent threats, is now operational following an intensive military operation that restored peace to the corridor. The President emphasized that the achievement reflects his administration’s commitment to national security and infrastructure development.
President Tinubu reaffirmed that the government will continue to support the armed forces with the resources they need, while working closely with local communities and stakeholders to maintain stability and ensure sustainable development.
