President Bola Tinubu has commended the people of Jigawa State for the warm reception accorded him during his visit to Dutse, highlighting agricultural equipment, skills acquisition centres and road projects as key initiatives aimed at promoting shared prosperity.
In a message after the visit, Tinubu said he was still smiling over the reception he and Vice President Kashim Shettima received, describing the welcome as that of family members.
He recalled that the excitement of the crowd moved him to dance, describing the visit as a memorable occasion.
The President highlighted the commissioning of 400 tractors and 60 combine harvesters, saying the equipment would improve agricultural productivity, increase farmers’ earnings and strengthen food supply.
He also noted that skills acquisition centres were providing young people with opportunities to learn different trades, while improved road networks were enhancing access to markets for farmers and traders.
Tinubu said the initiatives reflected his administration’s commitment to ensuring that the benefits of economic growth reach more Nigerians.
“For us in the APC, shared prosperity means our farmers earning more, our young people finding opportunities, and more families sharing in Nigeria’s progress,” he said.
The President also commended Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, for his partnership and service to the people, while expressing appreciation to residents for their support and prayers.
He pledged that his administration would build on the projects and initiatives already underway, expressing confidence in advancing the development agenda.
Tinubu concluded his message with a declaration of continued political commitment, saying, “Together, we will take this work further, all the way to 2031!”
The message comes amid increasing political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, as the President and the ruling All Progressives Congress seek to strengthen their support across the country.
