The chief press secretary to the Niger state governor, Mrs. Mary Noel Berje, has said the administration of Alhaji Abubakar Sani Bello had set precedence and demonstrated “exemplary leadership traits” by delivering service and good governance according to the people’s needs.
Mrs. Berje stated this in Minna in a chat with journalists, adding that the administration “now in its fifth year has carved a niche for itself for instituting sanity and financial discipline by remaining focused in its anti-corruption crusade, blocking wastages and creating more avenues for enhanced revenue generation in the state.”
She said the administration had achieved what no other government had achieved so much in the areas of education, health, agriculture and infrastructure.
“The Sani Bello administration has constructed and renovated over 2,500 schools across the state and completely overhauled 22 under the Whole Schools Development Approach. It established the Teacher Professional Development Institute and recruited 2,600 teachers,” she said.
According to the CPS, the administration is also consolidating its effort in agriculture by ensuring that the potentials in this area of comparative economic advantage are fully developed and maximised for overall prosperity of the state.
“Government is developing the massive 31,000 hectares, multi-million naira Bobi Grazing Reserve to boost meat and dairy production. This milestone is expected to provide employment, generate revenue for the state and prevent incessant clashes between farmers and herdsmen.
“We have made lots of progress also in the health sector, constructing over 50 primary health care centers across the state and reconstructing the general hospitals in Minna, Kontagora, Bida, Suleja, Kutigi and Nasko.”
