Former Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency representative Oghene Egoh has praised President Bola Tinubu for progress on road infrastructure and economic reforms. Speaking in Lagos on Sunday, Egoh highlighted ongoing projects including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, which he described as a transformative initiative that would boost tourism, trade and the blue economy. He called the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway a key driver for North-South trade and agricultural logistics, while also citing advances on the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano dual carriageway and the near completion of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Egoh noted improvements on the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway and expansion of the Bodo-Bonny Road, stating both were enhancing regional connectivity. He commended the use of reinforced concrete pavement on major highways, saying it would reduce maintenance costs and improve durability. On economic policy, Egoh said Tinubu's actions—such as fuel subsidy removal, foreign exchange adjustments and infrastructure financing strategies—were laying the foundation for long-term stability despite short-term hardship. "Economic reform is never easy, but courageous leadership requires making tough decisions for the greater good," he said.
Oghene Egoh lauds President Tinubu for reforms while acknowledging their painful short-term impact, exposing the tension between political praise and public hardship. The same citizens urged to endure economic pain are expected to trust that distant infrastructure projects will eventually deliver relief. If concrete roads are the measure of progress, then the administration's legacy may rest on whether people feel the pavement before they break under the strain. Patience is being treated as policy, but it cannot substitute for immediate answers on living costs.
