The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has asked for the support of the Federation of Construction Industry in Nigeria to achieve his administration’s target of developing the country’s infrastructure if elected president.

Tinubu made this appeal, according to a statement issued by his media office, during his consultative session with FOCI in Abuja on Thursday.

He said, “We must work together and collaborate to look at the bottlenecks impeding the realisation of the full potential of the construction industry and take realistic efforts to address them.

“God willing, as we assume the mantle of leadership, we shall build an even more prosperous economy. This means additional investment in relevant infrastructure: roads, bridges, rail, airports, schools, power facilities, hospitals and more. These will enhance efficiency, support industrial growth, spur trade and investment, and improve the ease of doing business.

“My commitment to increase annual Gross Domestic Product growth will heavily depend on the quality of the infrastructure we shall build to facilitate and sustain growth in all facets of our national life.”
