Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has expressed confidence in the country’s future, saying ongoing infrastructure investments by the federal government will deliver lasting benefits for Nigerians.

Speaking in a video circulating online, she acknowledged concerns over the rising cost of air travel but noted that expensive flight fares are a global challenge and not peculiar to Nigeria.

First Lady Addresses Travel Costs

Senator Tinubu said air transportation costs have increased in several countries, including the United States, prompting the administration to focus on expanding alternative transportation systems.

According to her, the government is investing in coastal transport routes and rail infrastructure to improve connectivity and ease movement across the country.

“Nigeria is such a great country and now you can see airports emerging, so I know you will say, ‘Oh, the flights are so expensive,’” she said.

“Everywhere in the world, even in America, flights are expensive. And that’s why Mr President is doing the coastal routes, not only coastal routes, even trying to have rail lines.”

Government Continuing Rail Projects

The First Lady stated that the current administration remains committed to completing rail projects initiated by previous governments.

She said continuity in infrastructure development is necessary to achieve long-term national growth.

“And so I know the previous administration started the rail line and, you know, we continue. We continue building,” she added.

Optimistic About Nigeria’s Future

Senator Tinubu expressed optimism that ongoing investments in transportation and other sectors would eventually improve the lives of Nigerians.

She said the country has enormous potential and urged citizens to remain hopeful about the future.

“Nigeria has a huge future ahead of it and by the grace of God, very soon we all will be beneficiaries of the success of what Nigeria will become,” she said.
