The federal government has said the President Bola Tinubu’s administration has been guided, at all times, by the principles of fairness, justice, and equity in the distribution of projects, appointments, and opportunities across all six geopolitical zones of our country.

The government in a statement signed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, said that contrary to the perception being pushed in some quarters, the Tinubu administration has demonstrated uncommon commitment to balanced development and inclusivity since assuming office.

It said that the distribution of capital projects under President Tinubu is equitable, insisting that no region is playing a second fiddle or ignored.

The federal government said that 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,” the added.

“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: 407 billion, North East: N400 billion, South West (excluding Lagos): N604 billion.

On the Legacy Road Projects under President Tinubu, the statement added, “Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway (750 km): 175 km ongoing in Lagos, Cross River, and Akwa Ibom States, Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway (1,068 km): 378 km ongoing in Kebbi and Sokoto sections, Trans-Sahara Highway (465 km): 118 km ongoing in Ebonyi State, Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe Road (439 km): Being redesigned from flexible to rigid pavement for durability.

Governor Sule seals $2m Lithium deal with Chinese Firm

Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has presided over the signing of a $2 million supplementary lithium agreement between the state government and Diamond New Energy, following his recent visit to China.   The agreement was signed at the Nasarawa State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja on Friday, August 14, 2026. Sule said the deal would help keep the company’s lithium processing factory operational while protecting jobs created by the investment. > “We are going to keep your factory functional, and we also have an interest as license owners in whatever you are doing in your company. More importantly, the people you have employed will remain employed,” the governor said. According to Channels Television, the governor said the state moved quickly to secure the relevant mining licence to ensure continued access to raw materials and prevent another party from obtaining the licence. The Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Margaret Elayo, expressed appreciation to the investors and said the partnership could encourage further investment in Nasarawa. The signing was witnessed by officials from the state Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, the Nasarawa State Investment Development Agency (NASIDA), Diamond New Energy and Ganfeng Lithium Industry Limited. Sule also urged the company to maintain peaceful relations with host communities and contribute to their development. He disclosed that payments due to the state under the agreement would be made in foreign currency directly to Nasarawa Mining Company Limited, with the terms subject to periodic review. Agreement builds on 2024 mining deal NASIDA Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Ibrahim Abdullahi said the state government had signed an exclusive mining cooperation agreement with the company in 2024. He said the partnership had contributed to the completion of what he described as the largest lithium processing refinery in West Africa. The supplementary agreement allows the continued supply of lithium materials from the state government’s mining block to serve as feedstock for the refinery. Abdullahi said the arrangement was expected to create further employment opportunities for young people and women in Nasarawa. He added that the state would receive $2 million immediately upon signing, with additional revenues expected under the agreement. A representative of Diamond New Energy, David Siong, said the company remained committed to expanding its operations in Nasarawa, including local processing of resources, job creation and supporting economic development in host communities. The Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Isaac Danladi, also presented copies of a deed of assignment transferring the mining rights and interests of Nasarawa Mining Company within 3.5 mining cadastral units in Endo, Nasarawa Local Government Area, to Ganfeng Lithium Industry Limited.
