I see a new chapter in the productivity of your hands. In this year,your resolutions shall be strong, and your achievements shall be grand.
“Yes, challenges will come, but they must be seen as opportunities for growth and transformation; they must be seen as a propeller, which pushes you out of your comfort zones and helps you develop new skills, perspectives and strengths so as to achieve better versions of yourselves and experience personal growth and change.May God help you all to navigate challenges of the year 2026 and may He help you to stay focused on your aspirations and your commitments towards one another as fellow members of humanity.
“For us in the Federal Ministry of Works, the new year is a time to recalibrate our mechanisms towards achieving maximum impact on the Renewed Hope agenda on road infrastructure revolution; it is a time to step up monitoring mechanisms and supervisions geared towards accelerating the construction of the Renewed Hope legacy projects as well as the rehabilitation of the existing federal roads nationwide. I will continue to thank and commend the management and staff of the Ministry for their strength of character, tenacity of purpose, hard work, and unshakable zeal to revamp Nigeria’s road infrastructure, and I look forward to further cooperation this year.
“I am incredibly fortunate to work for the most impressive and visionary leader, His Excellency,Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria who has continued to weild a strong willpower through policy regeneration and creative funding mechanisms including his efforts to foster private sector inclusion in the development of our road infrastructure. I thank him immensely for the innovations he adopted and interventions he provided to make the roads constructed or rehabilitated under his administration stand the test of time.
“As we enter this new year, everyone in the Federal Ministry of Works is urged to embrace the challenges ahead with optimism and teamwork. May the new year bless all and sundry with unwavering faith and fill your hearts with hope and strength throughout this year and always.
