Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga has pushed back against claims of widespread hunger in Nigeria, arguing that many citizens are benefiting from policies introduced by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking on Arise Television, Onanuga said government programmes and infrastructure projects are delivering tangible benefits despite concerns about the economy.
Citing road projects as an example, he recalled a recent trip from Ibadan to Lagos where he unexpectedly drove on a newly constructed concrete road after diverting from a traffic-congested route.
“I just found myself on a paved road, concrete road. I said, ‘Wow, when was this one built?’” he said.
