Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said that Nigerians are now feeling the positive change that was promised to them in 2015.
Mr Fashola said that the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari in the area of infrastructure is more than the United States Government.
“I can assure you that the present APC administration of President Buhari has achieved what even the US Government is trying to do in terms of infrastructure. The minister stated
Fashola said this in Kano during the All Progressives Congress conversation series on Thursday.
The series is the ruling party’s initiative of creating awareness on its achievements in the last seven years.
“As at December 2021, we have completed 941 kilometers of roads across all states and geopolitical zones.
“In Kano state here for instance, there are 21 road projects either in, around or in the neighbouring communities.
“Before APC administration, when last do you remember Federal Government completing 50 kilometer road in any part of the country?
“So, this is the positive change we promised Nigerians in 2015 and it is already happening. They say we are the same with them, but we are not. They stole money and took it abroad, but we are taking this money back and investing it in the area of infrastructure."
Fashola added that presently there were 850 ongoing projects under his ministry including roads and bridges construction as well as houses in 34 states of the country.
