Minister Assures of FG Commitment to Infrastructure Development.
Minister of Transportation, Mu’azu Sambo has said that no administration in Nigeria’s history has invested in infrastructure like Muhammadu Buhari’s presidency.
Sambo said this during a tour of Lagos State’s intra-city rail project on Friday in Lagos, adding that the administration had underscored the importance of infrastructure by creating what is called the presidential development infrastructure funds.
The minister said, “I have mixed feelings, I am impressed with everything I saw and the reason I said mixed feelings is because we have a lot to do. Unfortunately, the things we have to do are not only for the ministry of transportation.
“Getting down at Ijora, we saw how bad the road is, so we are going to talk to our brothers and sisters in the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.”
He explained that with increasing knowledge and technology, infrastructure also improves, infrastructure is the bedrock of life so there is no end to it.
The minister maintained that no administration in this country has invested in infrastructure like the Buhari Government, even our enemies admit that, that’s the reason they’ve decided to generate problems of insecurities here and there.
Sambo announced that operations would not commence on the new train station immediately due to government’s sensitivity towards the ongoing plight of the abducted Kaduna train victims.
