00:15:00shape, part the federal and state government efforts to improve
00:15:04connectivity and open up communities for economic
00:15:08activities. presidential media team and the renewed hope
00:15:11ambassadors are here to access the progress.
00:15:15we have been building fly overs, we have been building roads,
00:15:18we have also been building infrastructure
00:15:22and building and having programs that impact directly on the lives
00:15:26the people, as much as we are developing infrastructure, we are
00:15:30conscious the fact that we need to do infrastructure, we need to
00:15:34do programs and do projects that impact direct. on the
00:15:38people, we have major rural roads which we are
00:15:41constructing that we enable our farmers to move food
00:15:45produced from the rural areas into the market, we have the
00:15:49uh obagaji to okoklot road which is under
00:15:53construction, we have the Ojuawaji road which is under construction,
00:15:57we have the Zakib Beiji road, we have the
00:16:01Gomali to Aguila road, the roads are everywhere in the rural area so we are not
00:16:05concentrating on the urban center. We are also
00:16:08engaging in life transforming projects and programs that
00:16:12will lift the lives standard the people
00:16:16and enhance their wellbeing. One major stop is the
00:16:191.75 km Buruku bridge across the river
00:16:23Benway. The federal government says the project will provide
00:16:27safer movement for surrounding agrarian communities, improve
00:16:31access to markets and strengthen links with neighboring Tarapa
00:16:35and
00:16:36Adam state. For the President.
00:16:38it is also evidence of where borrowed funds are going, well
00:16:42this one is federal government project and this bridge in
00:16:46particular is the fifth bridge that the federal government is
00:16:49building in in state
00:16:53and for me, i think as nigerians you see
00:16:56that the government has been accused of so many things of
00:17:00boring money of doing that, but we can see where the money is
00:17:04going to to develop infrastructure. to
00:17:08link people who have been forgotten before to make sure
00:17:11that at least commerce flows freely uh
00:17:14farmers can get their products straight to the market and so
00:17:18on, they can shorten the travel time between one community and
00:17:22the other between the rural areas and the
00:17:25capital. the team also intercepted the ruruku overhead bridge and

00:17:49excellency father earlier, he made a pronouncement that benway
00:17:53will deliver 1 million votes to mr. president.
00:17:56i think
00:17:56my responsibility as deputy governor is to make
00:18:00sure that i mobilize the executive council and the people of
00:18:03ben state in the large numbers to actualize that. that
00:18:07has been made by the governor, but infrastructure is not the only
00:18:11conversation here, the ben state government says the
00:18:15project and other interventions by the tinabble administration are
00:18:19strengthening public support as it targets 1 million votes for the
00:18:23president in 2027. officials overseeing the
00:18:27federal project say funding remains on track
00:18:31uh we
00:18:31have completed all the substructures that is the
00:18:35pies
00:18:36the pile cars completed you can see at the
00:18:39upstream and the piers have all all been
00:18:43erected and uh the precast beams are in the
00:18:46yard we are about to launch them is just because the
00:18:50like i say at the wuruku round about is because
00:18:53the rain now the water level is very high
00:18:57we can't we couldn't continue with some the major work in the middle the
00:19:01river no there's no funding problem uh the project
00:19:05is under the renewal intervention
00:19:08fund, so there's no funding problem. the nationwide inspection is
00:19:12designed to access and showcase project under the renewed hope
00:19:16agenda. here in Benway state, the government believes the
00:19:19infrastructure would deliver more than improved connectivity and economic
00:19:23opportunities. it is also counting on the project to
00:19:27deliver political dividends in
00:19:292027.

00:19:44representation in elective governance, organized by
00:19:48women radio, this year summit marked a strategic pivot
00:19:52shifting focus from broad political aspirance to female
00:19:56candidates who have successfully secured official party
00:19:59tickets, sin reporter habidal has
00:20:03more, despite constituting nearly half of Nigeria's
00:20:07population women remain significantly under-represented
00:20:10in elective and appointive offices. The country
00:20:14continues to record one the lowest rates of female
00:20:18political representation in Africa with women accounting
00:20:22for only a small fraction of elected officials at the
00:20:25federal and state levels. Delivering a hardress
00:20:29conveiner the women candidate summit to Nayaya
00:20:33explained that the summit was designed to equip female
00:20:36candidates with practical campaign knowledge, strategic
00:20:40partnerships and robust support networks. the heart
00:20:43truth, the reality is that while more women are contesting
00:20:47elections, too few are making
00:20:50taking it into elected office. the challenge is not a lack
00:20:54of capable women, it is the persistent barriers
00:20:57that we face: limited campaign financing, inadequate
00:21:01political support, low visibility,
00:21:05online abuse, gender-based disinformation
00:21:09and in unequal access to political structures.
00:21:13these are not just women's issues, they are
00:21:16democratic issues. attended by the minister of women, first
00:21:20Iman Sulaiman Ibrahim, whose presence signaled key federal
00:21:24government engagement with the summit mission on the scores growing
00:21:28momentum for institutional backing aimed at
00:21:31transitioning female candidates into executive and legislative
00:21:35seats. even the men fight with the men for six any
00:21:39contest with one woman you see sometimes is five men so what the men say
00:21:42that they're not giving us chance so let's not be emotional let's be
00:21:46smart let's not be emotional let's be smart
00:21:50that's change the narratives and that is why i thought is important to
00:21:54rejuvenate the women's movement, women should learn to
00:21:58go in numbers, when i go to meetings with my
00:22:02colleagues and they ask me how many percent do you have and i say 4%, they
00:22:06say you don't have woman's movement in your country,
00:22:10they said in my country, no you cannot, if you take us out we take
00:22:14you out, addressing male political leaders, ton

00:28:29every day across forests, highways, towns and
00:28:33brave men and women stand watch so that Nigeria can sleep, they
00:28:37leave their families behind, confront danger head on and make
00:28:40sacrifices many of us will never see, yet the enemies
00:28:44of our nation continue their assault, they target our children,
00:28:48they murder innocent citizens, they force families from their
00:28:52homes, they turn thriving communities into places of
00:28:55fear and uncertainty, their goal is simple, to
00:28:59break our spirit, divide our people, and steal the
00:29:03future of our nation, but Nigeria is stronger than
00:29:07terror. As we demand greater accountability, stronger security
00:29:11measures and more effective action from those entrusted with our safety,
00:29:15we must also play our part. Support our security
00:29:18forces, salute their galantry, stand with those
00:29:22who stand for us. If you see something, say
00:29:25something. Let us be our brothers keeper. We must
00:29:29never surrender to fear, despair or hope.

00:29:37by religion, not by region, not by
00:29:41political party, because terror recognizes no
00:29:44ethnicity, no faith and no ideology, its
