Former Bauchi State Governor Isa Yuguda has said President Bola Tinubu’s administration can save Nigeria from its perennial challenges.
He maintained that Tinubu was on the right path to get Nigeria out of trouble.
Mr. Yuguda was speaking on Thursday after a forum in Abuja hosted by Tinubu’s Special Assistant on Energy, Mr. Olu Verheijen, hailed the President’s policies, especially in the power sector, as a beacon of hope for the country.
The former governor appealed to residents to be patient and see the reforms come to fruition.
Yuguda said previous governments had invested heavily in the power sector, but with little success.
However, he praised the current government’s interventions, remedies and incentives aimed at improving the distribution of electricity to the most vulnerable people.
He said: “As a forum, we have a duty to inform the public and know what we are achieving in government so that we can ensure that it is actually working.
“The interventions, remediation and incentives undertaken by the government to improve affordable electricity supply to the country’s most vulnerable people are truly commendable.”
