\n\nNasarawa State has recorded a major increase in infrastructure development, with Governor Abdullahi Sule saying the state has been able to execute projects worth about ₦90 billion as a result of increased revenue linked to economic reforms introduced by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Governor Sule made the disclosure while highlighting the impact of improved revenue generation on the state’s ability to fund development projects. According to him, the additional resources have enabled the government to invest more heavily in infrastructure across Nasarawa.
The governor said the improvement in available funds has provided the state with greater capacity to undertake projects that would previously have been difficult to finance. These investments are expected to support economic activities and improve public infrastructure for residents.
Sule attributed the development partly to changes in the federal revenue system following reforms implemented by the Tinubu administration. He argued that the reforms have increased the resources available to states, allowing them to take on more development responsibilities.
The development comes amid a broader debate over the impact of the Federal Government’s economic policies on states and ordinary Nigerians. While supporters of the reforms point to increased government revenue and infrastructure spending, critics continue to raise concerns about the cost-of-living pressures facing households.
For Nasarawa, however, the governor said the additional revenue has translated into visible government projects, describing the infrastructure spending as evidence of the opportunities created by the reforms.
The state government is expected to continue using increased revenue to finance infrastructure and other development initiatives as it seeks to improve living conditions and stimulate economic growth.
