A cross section of Nigerians in
Damaturu on Monday say President Muhammadu Buhari’s new year speech provides
hope for accelerated infrastructural development.
Alhaji Usman Habibu, a retired
civil servant, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Damaturu that
government’s commitment to build roads and railways would enhance speedy
development in the country.
“It is sad that these sectors
were abandoned for decades. This contributed to the poor economic growth of
Nigeria.”
He said providing railways would
save roads and the huge resources used in maintaining them.
Mustapha Abdullahi, a civil
servant, said the attention given to security was gratifying, adding, “the
relative peace achieved, especially in the North east should be sustained.
Alhaji Bukar Makinta, a farmer,
said government’s efforts to diversify the economy through agriculture and
solid minerals development were impressive, adding, “this gives hope to
agricultural development, food security and economic growth.”
Musa Garba, a politician, however
appealed for a working synergy between executive and legislative arms of
government to improve the living standard of Nigerians. (NAN)
