President Tinubu's Reforms
Infrastructure & Real Economy
How investment in roads, power, agriculture, housing, and energy is unlocking growth — projects people can see, use, and benefit from.
Building the Foundations of Commerce and Growth
No economy grows without power, roads, and productive capacity. The Tinubu Administration has made infrastructure investment a central priority — not as an end in itself, but as the mechanism through which jobs are created, goods move, businesses operate, and communities connect to opportunity.
Power generation increased. Average electricity generation has grown from 4,200 MW in May 2023 to a record 6,003 MW in March 2025. The Electricity Act and its 2025 amendment have devolved generation, transmission, and distribution powers to states, with 15 states now activating independent electricity markets.
Major road corridors underway. More than 13 highway corridors are under active construction, with a deliberate shift from asphalt to concrete — extending road lifespan from decades to a century. The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway (700 km), the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway (1,068 km across seven states), and the Abuja-Lokoja-Benin corridor are among the flagship projects.
Agriculture funded at historic levels. The agriculture budget has grown from ₦228.4 billion in 2023 to ₦826.5 billion in 2025 — a 261% increase. Agriculture now accounts for 25.59% of GDP.
Oil production recovering. Crude oil production has risen from approximately 1 million barrels per day in 2023 to 1.5 million barrels per day, supported by suppression of oil theft and pipeline security operations.

“These projects are being built with durable concrete pavement to last up to 100 years. Every route is critical because a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. No region has been left out.”
