What are Renewed Hope Infrastructural Development Funds?

According to the presidency, the project’s objectives include creating an innovative infrastructure investment vehicle to attract and concentrate money, acting as a dynamic engine of economic growth.

“Establishing the “Renewed Hope Infrastructure Fund” by Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu raises questions about governance versus politics. However, it’s essential to acknowledge that Tinubu, as the President of Nigeria, was democratically elected and thus has a responsibility to govern for the common good, development, and prosperity.

“While his ascension to power may have been through political means, it’s unfair to solely attribute his initiatives to politics. Instead, we should adopt optimism, pray for our country, and wish our leaders well while holding them accountable for their actions.

“It’s crucial to focus on the details of the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Fund to ensure transparency, accountability, and maximum effectiveness. Learning from past experiences like the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF), we must address bureaucratic and institutional challenges to ensure the masses benefit from these initiatives.

“Tinubu’s initiative aims to tackle Nigeria’s significant infrastructure deficit with a focus on roads, rail, and agriculture. To ensure the Nigerian masses feel the impact, we must prioritize transparency, accountability, and efficient execution. We should be concerned with these critical questions rather than debating whether the initiative is purely political.”

Kidnapping: Tinubu tells army three things to do

TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Tinubu commented on the rescue of the schoolchildren who were kidnapped alongside some of their teachers in Kaduna state.

According to the president, urgency, attention, and dedication are key in responding to mass abduction and rescue operations.

Tinubu then saluted the Nigerian army, the national security adviser, Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna state and everyone involved in the rescue operation.
