Minister for power, works and steel, Babatunde Fashola has stated that well-meaning Nigerians can attest that power supply has improved compared to what it was like before the Buhari-led administration took over in 2015.
Fashola made this known while speaking at a media parley in his Abuja office yesterday Monday April 29th.
According to Fashola, he was very convinced that his promise of incremental power, better journey experience on the roads, affordable housing, as well as economic opportunities for Nigerians, has been fulfilled.
Speaking further, the Minister said in the area of road construction and housing, his office has done tremendously well.
But our work is not finished.These are some of the reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari was re-elected. To take the people to the next level and finish the job.” He said the Buhari government has opened a new page in the power sector through his ministry about the possibilities that lie in the off- grid sources. In the works sector, the Ilorin-Jebba road which had collapsed and used to take 3-7 days to traverse 93km is now finished and take a little over one hour to travel.
Maintenance work on bridges, long neglected is being undertaken on assets like 3rd Mainland Bridge, Isaac Boro Bridge, Tamburawa Bridge, Eko Bridge, the old Niger Bridge, while new ones like 2nd Niger Bridge, Bodo-Bonny Bridge, Loko-Oweto Bridge, are being constructed and others have been recently awarded,”
