Abdullahi Sule, governor of Nasarawa, says the efforts of
President Muhammadu Buhari will be more appreciated when he leaves office in
2023.
Sule said this on Tuesday while speaking with state house
correspondents after a meeting with the president.
The Nasarawa governor commended Buhari for the
Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline project, adding that the present
administration has done much for the country.
“I told the president that some of your efforts for the
country will be more appreciated when you leave office,” he said.
“Today, you are the
architect of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline. Recently, Nasarawa State
signed an MoU after our gas roundtable in the state capital Lafia, where the
top management of NNPC were around.
“We discussed gas utilisation and we are bringing our own
experience of what happened with the West African gas pipeline, where it was
tapped from Sagamu into Ikeja and all the industries there are utilising gas.
“So, for a country like Nigeria that has over 200 trillion
standard cubic feet of gas, to say that somebody is building a gas pipeline for
the utilisation of gas, I don’t think that is a small thing. But a lot will not
understand this until may be when the president leaves office and in future.
“When we begin to have LPG everywhere for cooking and LNG so
that most of our vehicles will convert to gas rather than petrol, many cannot
see now what is going to happen tomorrow and by that time, they will say who
did this and they will be told it’s President Buhari and people will bless
him.”
Speaking on his visit to the presidential villa, the
governor said he came to express appreciation to Buhari on the support received
in the area of security.
“I came to express our great appreciation to the president
for the great support we have continued to receive in the area of security,” he
added.
“You must have heard there were several joint operations of
the special forces, the military, police, air force and navy in the two local
government areas that are bordering Abuja, Toto and Karu.
“The various
operations have been very successful. When we heard recently that some of our
schools were being targeted, we privately approached and the right actions were
taken. We thank God that we have been able to dislodge those ones.
“Also, we are here to express our happiness that as a result
of some level of peace we have in Nasarawa state, we have been tagged as a
state that is currently number one in sesame seed production, number two in yam
production, number two in cassava and number five in rice production in the
country.”
