Projects
Kano, May 11, 2017 (NAN) The Northern Elders Forum, has advised northern state governors to complete all abandoned projects they inherited from their predecessors for the benefit of the people.
The forum’s deputy leader, Dr Paul Unongo, gave the advice while briefing newsmen in Kano on Thursday.
“I want to use this opportunity to advice our governors in the North to borrow a leaf from the governor of Kano state who is ready to complete projects abandoned over 20 years ago.
“We are impressed by the style of Kano state governor.
“While most of the governors are eager to start their own projects, Ganduje completed projects abandoned by late Abubakar Rimi, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau and Rabi’u Kwankwaso.
“He has shown maturity and this is what we feel should be done.
“If you as governor meet an uncompleted project, complete it if it will improve the living standard of your people,” he said.
Unongo stressed the need for governors in the region to ensure prudent management of public funds to provide their respective states with necessary infrastructure.
He commended Borno state government for its effort to improve the living conditions of the people especially those affected by the activities of insurgents.
“We are going round the states to see what is going on. We went to Borno, Yobe and Adamawa and we are happy the security situation in those states has improved,” Unongo said. (NAN)
