The Minister of State for Works, Honourable Muhammad Bello Goronyo, has called on Nigerians to actively support and understand the policies of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
He made this appeal while receiving the leadership of the Youth Partnership for African Development (YOUPAD) in Abuja, where he was honoured with the Icon of Selfless and Innovative Leadership award.
Speaking at the event, Hon. Goronyo emphasised the need for collective efforts in driving national development, particularly in infrastructure. He highlighted the administration’s commitment to improving road networks across the country, stressing that good roads are essential for security and economic growth.
“So far, the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) has embarked on a massive rehabilitation of dilapidated roads nationwide. Insecurity sometimes thrives when roads are in poor condition, as non-state actors take advantage of the situation to cause disruptions,” he stated.
The minister urged Nigerians, regardless of tribe or religion, to support the government’s initiatives, noting that inclusive participation is key to achieving the administration’s goals.
Earlier, the President of YOUPAD, Mr Henry Nkem Nwankwo, commended Hon. Goronyo for his dedication to bridging the gap between the government and the people. He described the minister as a true ambassador of the Tinubu administration, whose efforts in the Ministry of Works and Housing have been instrumental in advancing national development.
The award was presented to Hon. Goronyo by Mr Nwankwo, alongside other YOUPAD representatives, including delegates from Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire.
