The federal government has announced plans to engage 4,000 social media influencers to showcase infrastructure projects delivered under the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

David Umahi, minister of works, spoke on Tuesday in Abuja while receiving a report from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) on its inspection of federal road projects in Kano, Jigawa, Kaduna and Sokoto.

Umahi said the proposed influencer network would help communicate the government’s achievements directly to Nigerians, particularly young people ahead of the 2027 general election.

The minister said Nigerians needed to hear about the gains recorded under Tinubu’s administration.

He also said the government would consider constructing pedestrian bridges around university campuses following concerns raised by NANS during its inspection.
