President Bola Ahmed Tinubu urged Nigerians to be patient and assured them that positive changes are underway despite current economic hardships during the inauguration of a 30 km segment of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.

He highlighted improvements including reduced inflation, cleanup of foreign exchange, and limits on fuel subsidy corruption, alongside efforts to promote local production.

Tinubu warned developers against unauthorized construction on federal land, emphasizing no compensation will be given for such breaches.
