Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Works and Housing, has claimed that the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration had more infrastructural achievements than the US government.
On Thursday, Fashola announced this in Kano at the “APC conversation series.”
The series is part of the ruling party’s effort to raise awareness of its accomplishments over the last seven years.
The Minister said, “I can assure you that the present APC administration of President Buhari has achieved what even the US government is trying to do in terms of infrastructure.
“As at December 2021, we have completed 941 kilometers of roads across all states and geopolitical zones.
“In Kano state here for instance, there are 21 road projects either in, around or in the neighbouring communities.
“Before APC administration, when last do you remember Federal Government completing 50 kilometer road in any part of the country?
“So, this is the positive change we promised Nigerians in 2015 and it is already happening. They say we are the same with them, but we are not. They stole money and took it abroad, but we are taking this money back and investing it in the area of infrastructure,” Fashola added.
He stated that his ministry is now working on 850 projects, including the development of roads and bridges as well as housing in 34 states around the country.
