The Minister of State for Works, Muhammad Bello Goronyo, has said the Renewed Hope welfare and infrastructure initiatives of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have positively impacted Nigerians across social and political divides.
Goronyo stated that the President’s leadership is people-centred and focused on expanding economic opportunities nationwide.
He spoke at the inauguration of the distribution of a N200 million Ramadan support package comprising assorted food items, clothing materials, provisions and cash to party stakeholders, religious leaders, security agencies and professional groups. The gesture, he said, aligns with Islamic teachings and is intended to ease the fasting period for beneficiaries.

Items distributed included bags of rice, millet and maize, as well as male and female clothing materials.
Highlighting infrastructure projects under the current administration, the minister cited the Sokoto–Badagry Highway and the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway as examples of critical projects designed to improve livelihoods and stimulate economic growth.
He urged Nigerians to reciprocate the administration’s efforts by supporting its policies, describing the All Progressives Congress as a resilient party with a development-focused agenda aimed at fostering growth and stability.
Goronyo explained that the Ramadan intervention forms part of his routine humanitarian support initiatives targeted at reducing hardship, particularly among vulnerable households in his constituency. He noted that fasting is a significant religious obligation in Islam and expressed hope that the support would enable beneficiaries to observe the exercise with less strain.
