A global ride-hailing service, XpressRide, has applauded President Bola Tinubu for his bold leadership and reforms, particularly in the transport and mobility ecosystem.
Executive Director of the organisation, Ismaila Atus, in a statement on Sunday, said the transport industry has begun to experience positive changes under the Tinubu administration.
He cited the expansion of rail infrastructure and rehabilitation of federal highways to renewed policies that encourage private sector participation in mobility and logistics services.
“At no time in recent years have we seen such deliberate efforts to modernise Nigeria’s transport system. The revival of critical rail corridors, renewed investments in interstate road networks, and policies that support tech-driven mobility solutions like ride-hailing are transforming the way people and goods move across the country,” Atus said.
He noted that improved transportation networks are already boosting economic activities, connecting rural and urban communities, reducing travel times, and attracting new investments into logistics and passenger mobility services.
“At the heart of any thriving economy is a reliable transport system. President Tinubu understands this and is making transportation the backbone of national growth,” he added.
Atus further said Tinubu’s leadership has not only rekindled hope in the anti-corruption fight but has also set Nigeria on a new path of security, economic recovery, agricultural expansion, and social development.
According to him, the President’s policies are already yielding results across several sectors, restoring public confidence in governance and strengthening Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
“President Tinubu’s leadership has gone beyond tackling corruption. We are witnessing deliberate, structured interventions in virtually every sector, from national security and food security to healthcare, education, and job creation. This is the kind of comprehensive governance Nigeria has long needed,” Atus said.
He commended the administration’s efforts in strengthening national security through improved funding for the armed forces, enhanced intelligence coordination, and renewed collaboration with regional partners to combat terrorism, banditry, and other threats.
According to him, for the first time in over a decade, communities in the North-East, North-West, and North-Central are beginning to see sustainable peace, with farmers returning to their lands, schools reopening, and displaced persons regaining their lives.
Atus also hailed the government’s focus on agriculture, citing initiatives like the National Agricultural Development Fund, fertiliser subsidy programmes, and the Presidential Food Security Emergency Plan, which he said are stabilising food prices and boosting domestic production.
“These interventions are laying the foundation for self-sufficiency and food security. The renewed focus on supporting smallholder farmers and commercial agriculture will transform rural economies and create millions of jobs,” he stated.
He further praised reforms in the health sector, including increased budgetary allocations, the ongoing construction and renovation of primary healthcare centres, and expanded immunisation programmes, saying these efforts are improving healthcare access and outcomes, particularly for women and children in underserved areas.
Atus also commended social intervention policies such as the student loan scheme, youth empowerment initiatives, and the credit guarantee system for small businesses, describing them as weapons against poverty and inequality.
“These programmes are not just economic tools; they are empowering Nigerians to live with dignity. They address the root causes of corruption and insecurity — unemployment, lack of opportunity, and systemic exclusion,” he noted.
He called on Nigerians to support the administration’s reform agenda and remain united in the pursuit of a better future for the country.
“No government can achieve transformation alone. It requires collective effort from civil society to traditional leaders, from the media to the ordinary citizen. Together, we can build the Nigeria of our dreams,” he added.
