The newly appointed Minister of State for Works and Housing, Mu’azu Sambo, on Wednesday, said President Muhammadu Buhari has chosen what is best for the country in terms of infrastructure development.
He noted this when he assumed office on Wednesday and was received by the Permanent Secretary, Babangida Hussaini, and staff members of the ministry.
Sambo asserted that Nigerians, who doubted Buhari’s capacity would only realize his importance after the end of his administration.
“Mr. President is a blessing to this country. I keep saying that the skeptics will not realize this until his Excellency is gone. But some of us who know that socio-economic development is tied to massive infrastructure development know that President Muhammadu Buhari has chosen the right course,” he said.
He noted that infrastructure development was important to the socio-economic growth of any nation. He gave examples of China and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates as countries with competitive edges due to their infrastructural investments.
He pointed out that he would be fulfilled if within the time he was in the ministry, he was able to help the president “leave some legacies behind in infrastructure development across the country.”
