Insisting that control over security rests with the populace, the previous president.
During his tenure in power from 2010 to 2015, former President Goodluck Jonathan claims that insecurity was his worst nightmare.
While a 22-kilometer road project in Taraba State was being commissioned on Friday, Jonathan made the revelation. Six pedestrian overpasses as well as a flyover bridge are part of the dualized Yola-Wukari road.
The former president said that his worst nightmare as president of the nation was insecurity. He praised Governor Darius Ishaku for a job well done and said that he did a great job.
In an effort to address the problems, he claimed to have spent many sleepless nights. He urged the locals to coexist in harmony in order for greater development to prosper, noting that good road infrastructure is essential for any kind of growth.
Jonathan reiterated that security is in the hands of the people as he opened the road project and then signaled the beginning of the construction of a heavy-duty vehicle park on the outskirts of the state capital.
The former president also expressed happiness that Taraba was gradually reverting to the “good old days” of harmonious coexistence and tolerance.
Ishaku claimed that his administration’s road construction efforts were made to connect rural areas with the city in order to examine the state’s agricultural potential.
The new administration in Taraba State will take office in less than two weeks after the inauguration.
One of Ishaku’s key initiatives to leave a lasting impression was the opening of new infrastructure in the state.
Ishaku claimed in his statement that his administration’s focus on road building seeks to boost economic development, particularly in rural areas, by reviving the agricultural potentials of taraba.
The governor took use of the occasion to refute figures that the state is among the most indebted in the country.
