Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, has said he does not share the view that the level of hunger often described by critics reflects the reality across Nigeria, insisting that many Nigerians are benefiting from policies introduced by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television on Tuesday, Onanuga argued that several government initiatives have delivered tangible benefits to citizens, citing infrastructure projects, student loans and credit facilities for workers as examples.
According to him, recent road projects have significantly improved travel experiences for many Nigerians.
Recalling a recent journey from Ibadan to Lagos, Onanuga said he was impressed by a newly constructed concrete road around the Ijebu-Ode axis.
“One day I was traveling from Ibadan to Lagos, and Google Maps told me that there’s a go-slow in the approach to Lagos, and I decided to take Ijebu-Ode via Shagamu. What struck me most was that I just found myself on a paved road, concrete road. I said, ‘Wow, when was this one built?'” he said.
