President of The Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari has claimed that without his intervention, Nigerians would have still been trekking from Lagos to Ibadan.
The President while speaking on Tuesday, February 22 at the presidential villa while receiving a delegation from Kaduna state, said that by making infrastructure projects his priority, particularly the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and rail line, he has helped reduce hardship
Buhari said;
“My objective was very clear, despite the dwindling resources, I wanted to deal with infrastructure across the country.
We should look at advancement in terms of Infrastructure. No country can advance without infrastructure.
“The people from south-west can tell better because between Lagos and Ibadan by now, if we hadn’t done what we did, people would have been trekking because the road was not there, the rail was not there and there was so much insecurity.
“But we thank the international community. We thank China and Chinese investors, who came along to support the Lagos-Ibadan transport projects.”
