President Bola Tinubu has revealed the reasons Nigerian roads are in bad state.

Speaking in a nationwide broadcast as Nigeria marks 65 of Independence, Tinubu attributed bad roads in Nigeria to failure of making the necessary investments decades ago.

The president, therefore emphasized the need to build more roads and infrastructure for the betterment of all Nigerians.

“Fellow Nigerians, we are racing against time. We must build the roads we need, repair the ones that have become decrepit, and construct the schools our children will attend and the hospitals that will care for our people. We have to plan for the generations that will come after us.

“We do not have enough electricity to power our industries and homes today, or the resources to repair our deteriorating roads, build seaports, railroads, and international airports comparable to the best in the world, because we failed to make the necessary investments decades ago,” he said.
