If Not Me, Nigerians Would Have Been Trekking From Ibadan To Lagos – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said if not for him, Nigerians would have been trekking enroute Ibadan to Lagos.

News release from one of the presidential spokespersons, Femi Adesina indicated that President Muhammadu Buhari stated while playing host to a delegation from Kaduna State, led by the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, and Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Hadiza Sabuwa Balaraba at State House in Abuja.

“The people from South West can tell better because between Lagos and Ibadan by now, if we hadn’t done what we did, people would have been trekking because the road was not there, the rail was not there and there was so much insecurity.

“But we thank the international community. We thank China and Chinese investors, who came along to support the Lagos-Ibadan transport projects.

“We should look at advancement in terms of Infrastructure. No country can advance without infrastructure. There used to be railways, especially people from Southern Kaduna will remember this.

“Which country can really advance without road, rail and power, that’s why I wanted to sort out infrastructure, knowing that Nigerians are competitive by nature, and they will face their businesses when there’s road, rail and power”, President Muhammadu Buhari said.
