The Federal Government says the President Bola Tinubu administration has been fair to all sections of Nigeria with appointments and various projects across the country.
The government said the Tinubu administration is guided by the principles of fairness, justice, and equity in the distribution of federal government projects, appointments, and opportunities across all six geopolitical zones of the country.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said this in a statement issued on Sunday, August 31, 2025
Idris stated that the Tinubu administration has demonstrated uncommon commitment to balanced development and inclusivity since assuming office, saying the distribution of capital projects by the administration is equitable.
Idris said Tinubu has been appointing capable Nigerians from every part of the country, saying the president’s appointments were guided by competence and inclusivity rather than sectional considerations.
The minister noted: “No region is playing a second fiddle or ignored. In addition to projects by various Ministries, Departments and Agencies, all six regions now have Regional Development Commissions to re-kickstart development efforts.
“While the Coastal Highway courses through the South, the Badagry–Sokoto Highway, under construction, traverses majorly the North. This sense of balance runs through all the major infrastructure projects being implemented today.
“Major infrastructural interventions are simultaneously ongoing across the federation – from highways and bridges to rail and power projects. The administration has secured funding for light rail projects in Kano and Kaduna states to the tune of N150 billion and N100 billion, respectively. The metroline projects in Lagos and Ogun States form part of the government’s effort to develop Nigeria’s light rail infrastructure. Collectively, these projects are expected to create over 250,000 jobs nationwide.
“There is also a renewed push for the rehabilitation of the Eastern Corridor of the rail line from Port Harcourt to Maiduguri. In addition, over 1,000 primary health care centres have been rehabilitated across the country, underscoring the administration’s commitment to human capital and social infrastructure.
“From verifiable data, the actual distribution of projects shows the Northwest as the biggest beneficiary: Northwest: N5.97 trillion (over 40% of approvals), South South: N2.41 trillion, North Central: N1.13 trillion, South East: N407 billion, North East: N400 billion, South West (excluding Lagos): N604 billion.”
