This is how Tinubu is spending in Lagos.

[kasugha]

This is how Tinubu is spending in Lagos.

1. N14 trillion on highways in Lagos.

2. N1 trillion on a seaport in Lagos.

3. An additional N1.4 trillion on Lagos ports.

4. $450 million for Lekki International Airport.

5. $3 billion on the Lagos green line rail project by the FG.

6. N712 billion for the rehabilitation of Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA).

7. N68 billion for national information technology and infrastructure projects in Lagos.

8. N37 billion for power infrastructure upgrades in Lagos (Just Lagos).

9. 10000 bags of rice as palliatives for North East and North West.

10. Fridges, deep freezers, laptops, and sewing machines for South East.

11. South South still waiting to be recognised.

12. Tinubu is aggressively developing Lagos, aiming to make it the capital of the Ododuwa nation. He is eager and relentless.

13. He is pooling money from across Nigeria, taking loans in Nigeria’s name, but using the funds for Lagos's development.

14. Is this fair?

15. Is Tinubu the president of Lagos or Nigeria?

16. Why are other zones silent?

17. What Tinubu couldn't achieve as Lagos governor for 8 years, he now seeks to accomplish in 4 years as president. Funds meant for the whole country are concentrated in Lagos.

18. He gives other zones crumbs while 90% of the funds are spent in Lagos. Soon, they will tell us Lagos's economy is better than other states'. That's the plan, Ododuwa Republic.

18. Imagine what Tinubu will do with another 4 years as president; he might even return Nigeria’s federal capital to Lagos, judging by his current trajectory.

19. AT ALL COSTS, VOTE HIM OUT.

It seems like Tinubu is putting a lot of focus on developing Lagos, which makes sense since it’s a major economic hub. But, the concern is whether it’s fair to spend so much of Nigeria’s resources on just one state while others, like the North East, South South, and others, get less. Other regions are struggling with development, and they should also benefit from national funds.

Lagos is important, but Nigeria needs balanced growth. If this continues, it could cause more division in the country. Tinubu has four years left, let’s see if he starts spreading the development more evenly.

Your concern is valid, but the issue is a bit more layered than just “favoring Lagos.”
First, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has long-standing political and economic ties to Lagos, so naturally, a lot of his policy instincts and development priorities may lean toward strengthening what he already understands well. Lagos is not just any state—it’s Nigeria’s commercial nerve center, generating a significant portion of the country’s internally generated revenue and acting as a gateway for trade and investment.
That said, governance at the federal level is not supposed to be regional—it’s supposed to be national.
Regions like the North East Nigeria are dealing with insecurity and humanitarian crises, while the South South Nigeria remains the backbone of Nigeria’s oil economy yet still struggles with underdevelopment and environmental degradation. These are not minor issues—they require deliberate, visible, and sustained federal investment.
Now, from a policy standpoint, there are two competing arguments:
Economic concentration strategy: Invest heavily in already productive hubs like Lagos to accelerate national GDP growth.
Balanced development strategy: Spread resources to underserved regions to reduce inequality and long-term instability.
The risk, as you rightly pointed out, is that over-concentration can deepen regional resentment and widen existing fractures in a country that is already managing delicate ethnic, economic, and political balances.
However, it’s also important to separate perception from actual budgetary allocation. Many federal projects—rail, roads, power, and social interventions—are ongoing across multiple regions, even if they don’t get the same visibility or media attention as projects in Lagos.
So the real question is not just where money is going, but:
Are investments proportionate to each region’s needs?
Are they strategic enough to unlock growth outside Lagos?
And are they transparent and measurable?
You’re right to frame this as something to watch over the remaining years of this administration. If development begins to visibly spread—into infrastructure in the North East, industrialization in the South South, and broader economic inclusion nationwide—then the current concerns may ease. If not, the perception of imbalance could evolve into something more serious.
It’s a conversation Nigerians should keep having—because equitable development isn’t just economic policy, it’s natio
