A dynamic civil society group has launched the “Tinubu Northern Legacy Movement” to showcase President Bola Tinubu’s flagship projects across Nigeria’s northern states, positioning the initiative as a powerful response to critics questioning federal investment in the region.
Unveiled in Kano on January 15, 2026, the movement aims to spotlight key achievements including the massive rehabilitation of the Kano-Maiduguri road, agricultural empowerment programs in Borno and Yobe, and the rollout of solar-powered irrigation systems in Sokoto and Zamfara. Organizers say the campaign will deploy town hall meetings, digital campaigns, and community rallies to bring the impact of these projects directly to citizens.
“We’re tired of the noise from naysayers. President Tinubu has delivered concrete results in the North — from roads that connect markets to power projects lighting up rural communities. This movement will tell the true story,” declared the group’s convener, Hajia Amina Yusuf, during the launch event attended by traditional rulers and youth leaders.

The initiative comes at a pivotal moment, as northern governors and stakeholders push for accelerated federal funding amid economic recovery efforts. Highlighted projects include the $200 million North-East Development Commission (NEDC) interventions, expanded student loan schemes benefiting over 50,000 northern undergraduates, and the controversial but transformative Dangote Refinery’s supply chain benefits for northern traders.
Skeptics have dismissed the movement as politically motivated ahead of 2027 elections, but supporters argue it fills a critical gap in public communication. “Northerners deserve to see and celebrate what’s working, not just hear complaints,” Yusuf added, announcing partnerships with local influencers and media outlets for widespread amplification.
As the movement gains momentum, it could reshape narratives around Tinubu’s presidency in the North, where infrastructure deficits have long fueled discontent. With planned caravans heading to Kaduna, Gombe, and Bauchi next week, the group vows to turn project sites into celebration hubs, inviting citizens to witness progress firsthand.
