Tinubu Confirms Anambra’s Inclusion in National Rail and Gas Plans

President Bola Tinubu has announced that Anambra State will be incorporated into Nigeria's National Rail Master Plan, addressing its previous exclusion. This commitment was made during a civic reception at Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka, where the President assured residents that the Federal Ministry of Transportation would amend the oversight.

During his visit, President Tinubu also acknowledged the severe erosion issues affecting Anambra and pledged federal support for ecological interventions. He highlighted the state's significant gas reserves and confirmed that Anambra would be included in the National Gas Master Plan.

Emphasizing infrastructure development, the President noted the strategic importance of road projects linking Anambra to Kogi State, which would enhance access to the South-South region and Abuja. He admitted that some federal roads had been neglected and expressed his administration's readiness to address these lapses.

During the visit, President Tinubu commissioned several projects, including the Emeka Anyaoku Institute for International Studies and Diplomacy at Nnamdi Azikiwe University and components of the Solution Fun City developed by the Soludo administration. In recognition of his contributions to national development, traditional rulers conferred upon him the title "Dikesinmba of Anambra State."

Reaffirming his commitment to unity and inclusive development, President Tinubu stated, "We are one family, a single family, diverse, living in the same house called Nigeria. Our diversity must lead to prosperity. We must work together to be a united Nigeria."
