The Federal Government has disclosed that over 420 federal roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects have either been completed or significantly advanced under the administration of President Bola Tinubu within the two years already spent in office.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Works, Senator Barinada Mpigi, made this known in a goodwill message delivered by his representative, Ashley Emenike, at the opening ceremony of the 33rd Engineering Assembly organised by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja.
Themed “Advancing Quality Engineering Services and Businesses in Nigeria: Professionalism, Compliance and Remunerations”, the annual event drew professionals from across the country to deliberate on engineering ethics, infrastructure standards, and national development.
Mpigi hailed engineers as indispensable drivers of Nigeria’s development, noting that their work forms the backbone of the country’s economic growth, infrastructure expansion, and industrial advancement. It was also declared that Nigerian engineers are not merely technical experts, but strategic nation builders who deserve a central role in policy making.
