President Bola Tinubu has criticised state governors for prioritising the construction of flyovers over more pressing infrastructure needs, despite what he described as a significant rise in monthly allocations to states since he assumed office.
Mr Tinubu spoke on Thursday when he received a delegation of traditional rulers from Oyo State, led by the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Rashidi Ladoja, at the State House in Abuja.
Details of the visit were shared with PREMIUM TIMES by the presidency.
The president said many governors were spending public funds on flyovers in areas with little vehicular traffic, rather than channelling resources into road networks that would improve security response and residents’ quality of life.
