“I want to emphasize that when we talk of change, what we are really saying is that it is possible for government to meet the needs of the people, that government is not just about going around in motorcades and looking important, but it is serving the people. One of the reasons why people “voted for us is because they believed in change and that we are able to provide that kind of leadership.”
The News reports that the 2,000 housing units project will be completed within the four years of Governor Rufai's tenure.
However, the first phase of the housing scheme will be complete within 12 months.
The N5 billion shopping mall and galleria is expected to be completed within 18 months.
