Work To Begin On Lagos-ibadan Expressway Next Week, Says Buhari by Ofunaofu: 7:22pm On Nov 24, 2015
President Mohammdu Buhari Tuesday said that work would commence on the dilapidated
Lagos-Ibadan express way.
This was even as he said that his administration
was committed to ending sabotage, theft and
vandalization of gas pipeline and other installations
which he said has affected power generation and
supply in Nigeria.
The president assured that the Minister of Works,
Power and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola would
address the issue of the collapsed road.
Also to checkmate and end the ugly trend of gas
theft, president Buhari announced that the existing
Military Task-Forces will be reorganized to ensure a
successful protection of the network of gas
pipelines.
The president spoke in an interactive session with
the members of the Nigerian community in Tehran,
Iran on Tuesday.
He noted that “although some improvement in
power had been recorded in the recent period,”
sabotage of pipeline installations had continued to
be a problem.
He said: “Power is a running battle because the
saboteurs are still there. We have the potential. We
have gas, we have qualified people but we are
contending with a lot of saboteurs who go and blow
up installations. When gas is pumped to Egbin and
such other power stations, thieves and saboteurs
such as the militants cut those supplies.”
The president also cited another factor as the
reduced role of the government in the sector due to
the privatization of the institutions under the Power
Handling Company of Nigeria, PHCN in the process
of which, he said, the facilities “have been sold to a
number of interest groups.”
He however assured that the Military task-forces
with representation from the Army, Navy, Air Force,
the Police and the secret services will be
reconstituted to secure the pipelines.
“Supplies will become steady; there will be less
sabotage as we secure the pipelines”, he said.
Responding to a question on the need to improve
healthcare delivery, President Buhari said that efforts
had been intensified towards ridding the country of
fake drugs and fake doctors, and also what he
called ” the disgraceful aspects” manifested by ”
baby factories.”
He also enumerated several steps being taken
towards the revival of education from primary
school school level to university.
On the creation of jobs, he placed the prevailing
joblessness in the country at the door-step of the
last administration which he blamed for giving ” a
devastating blow to the economy through corruption
and incompetence.”
Speaking on corruption as one of the three issues
he identified as the priorities of his administration,
President Buhari said that the necessity for
compliance with due process of the law was
responsible for the delay in the prosecution of the
looters of the country’s economy but that the “the
day of reckoning is gradually coming.”
He also revealed that a number of past officials had
begun the voluntary return of stolen funds but
expressed the view that his government was not
satisfied with tokens.
“We want to have everything back-all that they took
by force in 16 years,” he said.
