ABUJA — ActionAid Nigeria (AAN) has endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s call on state governors to prioritise people-centred projects over the construction of flyovers in areas where they are not needed.
In a statement signed by its Country Director, Dr. Andrew Mamedu, the organisation said governments at all levels should focus public spending on projects that directly improve the welfare of citizens, particularly amid prevailing economic challenges.
Mamedu described the President’s remarks as an opportunity to broaden the national conversation on public finance and the allocation of scarce resources.
“ActionAid Nigeria welcomes President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s recent call on state governors to stop constructing unnecessary flyovers in locations without traffic congestion and instead prioritise projects that directly improve citizens’ lives.
