“Mr President, in his wisdom and with the approval of the Federal Executive Council, approved the setting up of the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Fund to be domiciled in the Presidency,” he said.
The Federal Inland Revenue Service Chairman, Zach Adedeji, provided more information about the development, stating that the fund would prioritize road, rail, agricultural, ports, and aviation.
