PRESIDENT Mohammed Buhari says the President-elect Bola Tinubu will sustain his administration’s commitment to infrastructural development in the country.
He said this while delivering an address virtually on Friday, May 26, to commission four federal government projects.
The four projects are the Nigerian Navy Logistics College Dawakin Tofa, a 3000-capacity ultramodern correctional centre, the New International Terminal Building of Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, as well as the procurement of aircraft, equipment and buildings at the College of Aviation Technology Zaria, Kaduna State.
