Nigerians Could Have Been Trekking From Lagos-Ibadan If….. Buhari Boasts | DETAILS

President Muhamadu Buhari has boasted of his infrastructural projects, noting that most Nigerians would have been trekking from Lagos state to Ibadan, Oyo state if he hadn’t intervened on roads and rail.

Speaking to delegation from Kaduna State, led by the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Hadiza Sabuwa Balaraba at the State House Abuja on the road and rail lines completion on the Lagos-Ibadan route , the President said;

“My objective was very clear, despite the dwindling resources, I wanted to deal with infrastructure across the country.
“We should look at advancement in terms of Infrastructure. No country can advance without infrastructure. There used to be railways, especially people from Southern Kaduna will remember this.
“Which country can really advance without road, rail and power, that’s why I wanted to sort out infrastructure, knowing that Nigerians are competitive by nature, and they will face their businesses when there’s road, rail and power”.

“The people from South West can tell better because between Lagos and Ibadan by now, if we hadn’t done what we did, people would have been trekking because the road was not there, the rail was not there and there was so much insecurity.
“But we thank the international community. We thank China and Chinese investors, who came along to support the Lagos-Ibadan transport projects”.

Buhari assured that the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure , which include the ongoing Abuja-Kaduna-Kano express road will be sustained.
