Buhari administration has done more than US govt– Fashola

Babatunde Raji Fashola, the Minister of Works and Housing, on Thursday, has said that  Muhammadu Buhari led administration has done what the United States government is still struggling to achieve.

The Minister made this statement in Kano during a conversation series of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

He further added that the current government has done more than all the previous governments when it comes to infrastructure.

Fashola alleged that the PDP was known for stealing public funds to invest in bigger countries but that the APC brought back the stolen funds and invested them in infrastructure.

The Minister said, “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.

“As of December 2021, we have completed no fewer than 941 kilometres of roads across all states and geopolitical zones in the country.

“For instance, in Kano State here, there are 21 road projects either in, around or in the neighbouring communities by this administration.

“Before APC administration, when last do you remember the Federal Government completing even a 50-kilometre road in any part of Nigeria?

“So, this is the positive change we promised Nigerians in 2015 and it is already happening. They say we are the same as 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”.

Babatunde Fashola further stated that over 850 projects including bridges, roads and houses are still ongoing.

Fashola was appointed Minister of Power, Works and Housing by President Muhammadu Buhari on 11 November 2015; he was appointed Minister of Works and Housing on 21 August 2019
