ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised the pace of development in Ogun State, declaring that the projects unveiled in Iperu reflect the kind of tangible progress Nigeria must pursue nationwide.
Speaking during a visit to the state, Tinubu said he returned “with a full heart” after witnessing what he described as deliberate and sustainable development, anchored on long-term planning and discipline.He disclosed this on Saturday via his X account.
At the center of the president’s commendation was the Gateway Cargo Airport in Iperu, which he said stands as a symbol of what is achievable when vision aligns with execution.
According to him, investments in infrastructure must ultimately serve the people and lay the foundation for future prosperity.
The president also acknowledged the efforts of Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, praising his consistency and focus on impactful governance. Tinubu stressed that meaningful development goes beyond rhetoric, emphasizing decisions that directly improve citizens’ lives.
Highlighting newly launched assets, including aircraft, electric bikes, tractors, and security equipment, the president said such initiatives represent practical and visible progress. He noted that development must cut across all levels of society, adding that Ogun State appears to be implementing that principle effectively.
Tinubu further linked the state’s achievements to his administration’s “Renewed Hope” agenda, stating that recent reforms have increased resources available to states and created room for sub-national governments to deliver results. He observed that several states, including Ogun, are rising to meet these opportunities.
Reaffirming his administration’s direction, the president pledged to remain committed to policies that prioritize people-centered growth and national prosperity.
Adopting a local expression to conclude his remarks, Tinubu declared, “Ìṣẹ̀ ń lọ”—a Yoruba phrase meaning “the work continues”—signaling his government’s resolve to sustain ongoing development efforts.
