President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed his determination to finish major projects across the country before handing over power in 2023.

The senior special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, who made the remark during a televised interview, noted that it was the major preoccupation of the government, adding that some of the projects include the second Niger Bridge; Lagos-Ibadan Expressway; East-West Road; Calabar- Lagos railway; Maiduguri-Port Harcourt railway and Ibadan-Port Harcourt rail line.

Shehu noted that they are all matters of priority and that President Buhari is seeking to commission them before he leaves office, reiterating that his principal is committed to leaving a lasting legacy and not on choosing his successor.

Aside from infrastructure, he also re-echoed Buhari’s earlier call to Nigerian youths to embrace agriculture even though he admitted the Federal Government alone cannot fund the sector.
