Nigeria’s Information and Culture Minister, Alhaji Lai Mohammed says President Buhari remains Nigeria’s best President ever without compare.
He said this while showering encomium on President Buhari over the timely completion of the reconstruction of the Abuja International Airport runway .
This, he said , has shown and confirmed that “Nigerians elected a responsive, responsible and capable federal government.”
In a statement on Wednesday signed by his Special Adviser, Mr Segun Adeyemi, the Minister said that the delivery of the project even ahead of schedule is a testimony to the fact that the Buhari-led government is capable of living up to its promise and could rise up to any occasion.
According to him, “The clock-work precision with which everything concerning the closure of the airport and the temporary relocation to the Kaduna Airport was handled is the clearest indication yet that Nigeria can tackle any challenge.”
He noted that the rehabilitation of the Abuja-Kaduna road, the provision of effective security along the highway showed that Nigerians have what it takes to make the country a proud member of the comity of nations.
Mohammed also hailed the perfect handling of the massive logistics involved in ensuring that the Kaduna Airport was able to handle a large number of flights.
”It is to the credit of the security agencies and the Federal Road Safety Corps that passengers travelling along the ever-busy Abuja-Kaduna highway were largely kept safe while the closure of the Abuja airport lasted.
“There was no known security scare while accidents on the road were kept at the barest minimum, despite the increased vehicular traffic.
“Who can forget the timely departure and arrival of the Abuja-Kaduna train that ferried thousands of passengers back and forth during the Abuja airport closure?
“Indeed, the closure of the Abuja airport runway and the logistic nightmare it triggered must rank among the most intimidating challenges faced by this Administration,” he said.
The Minister reminded those who might want to trivialise the feat by the present government to realise that what could not be done in the over 30 years the runway was left to deteriorate was achieved in just six weeks, even under an economic recession.
