The Minister stressed that a great deal of continuous undertakings would be conveyed and put to use for the solace of Nigerians, including that the government is investing hugely in the arrangement of basic infrastructure.
He said: “As a matter of fact, no government has invested more in infrastructure development than the Buhari administration. As I speak, there is at least one federal road under construction in each of the country’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
“The setting up of the 650 million dollar presidential infrastructure fund is aimed at accelerating the ongoing construction work on the second Niger Bridge, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, East-West road, Abuja-Kano expressway and the Mambilla Hydro-electric project. There is no better demonstration of President Buhari’s commitment to deliver on critical infrastructure across the country.”
The minister additionally approached NURTW to help the government as it advanced imaginative measures to handle the challenge of insecurity on the streets.
