I don’t think any Nation is doing what the Buhari-led government has done – Babatunde Fashola

 

Former Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said that the Buhari-led government has achieved major milestones that could hardly be achieved by any other country in the world.

Fashola made this assertion during a recent interview with newsmen at his office in Abuja, the nations capital.

“This government is doing something that I don’t think many if any nation has done before. They are building the entire infrastructure at the same time ports, airports, rail, roads, power, all simultaneously at the same time.

Often times, what most countries do is to finish one then go to the other. And it is because we have outgrown our infrastructure as a nation. And that is why you will see the commitment of the President to projects like the second Niger bridge, the Igbodo-Ogoni bridge, the Mambilla power plant, the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, all of these is going on at the same time,” he said.

The Buhari-led administration kicked off their second term in office on May 29th.

Nigerians Spend Less On Fuel As They Enjoy Better Power Supply Under Buhari - Fashola

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has insisted that Nigerians have been enjoying constant power supply under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

While speaking during the April 2018 edition of the monthly power sector operators’ meeting in Umuahia, Abia state, the minister noted that Nigerians had been spending less money on alternative power sources, such as fuel for generators, because the country’s power situation had improved.

According Fashola, well-meaning Nigerians were aware of the improvement, noting that the government was doing its best to work harder for them and improve service delivery.

He said, “We are on a journey to a destination of promise and eventual prosperity and I use this occasion to salute the efforts and contributions of all those who have brought us this far.

“Even if those who were most vocal in condemnation when the situation appeared very dire are now uttering some muted acknowledgment that it has improved, we must continue to draw inspiration from well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians who were gracious enough to publicly acknowledge that: they are saving some money from diesel they used to spend for generators; they are running their generators for fewer hours; and they are getting comparably more power than before.

“It is because of those gracious and well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians that we must dig deeper, work harder and be more determined to improve service delivery.”
