President Bola Tinubu on arrival in Bayelsa State for one-day working visit

President Bola Tinubu says Nigerians deserve governance that translates into tangible infrastructure and improved service delivery.

The President makes this known during a one-day official visit to Bayelsa State, where he inaugurates key legacy projects of Governor Douye Diri and pledges stronger collaboration with the state government to drive development.

It is a moment of high expectations in Bayelsa State as President Tinubu arrives on a one-day working visit to inaugurate major infrastructure projects executed by the state government.

Among the projects inaugurated are the 60-megawatt Independent Power Plant, the Angiama-Oporoama Bridge, the New Yenagoa City Road One dual carriageway, and the Sagbama-Ekeremor road.

The President commends Governor Douye Diri for what he describes as purposeful leadership, stressing that governance must positively impact the daily lives of citizens through visible development and efficient service delivery.

President Tinubu also reassures Nigerians of his administration’s commitment to tackling insecurity and strengthening national stability.

Governor Douye Diri expresses appreciation to the President for the visit, while appealing to the Federal Government to refund resources expended by the state on federal road projects, particularly the completed senatorial roads.

Seventeen years after the last presidential working visit by Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Bayelsa once again welcomes a sitting President.

For many, the visit of Tinubu goes beyond ceremony, rekindling hopes for renewed partnership and accelerated development in the oil-rich state.
