President Muhammadu Buhari has said that with the humongous resources at the disposal of Nigeria between 1999 and 2014, it was sad that infrastructure was not fixed.
President Buhari said the administrations then allowed infrastructure to rot completely within the period.
Buhari said this when he received the outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, His Excellency, Paul Arkwright, in a farewell audience at State House, Abuja, on Monday.
Buhari said, “Our focus now is on infrastructure; roads, rail, power, and others. How I wish we had fixed all those when we had money.
“What we earned between 1999 and 2014 is on record, but nothing was done to infrastructure. Now, we are doing a lot more, with a lot less resources. And we shall continue to do our best.”
This was contained in the details of the meeting forwarded to DAILY POST by the President’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
President Buhari commended the outgoing High Commissioner for his warm and pleasant disposition, which has seen him traversing almost the entire country.
“I always see you all over the place,” the President noted.
