Power Deficit In Borno Will Soon Be Addressed

Vice President Kashim Shettima has assured of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to massively boost Nigeria’s infrastructural needs by focusing on the basic needs and requirements of the nation.

VP Shettima gave the assurance on Tuesday at his residence in Maiduguri, when he hosted members of the Borno Elders Forum, members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and other stakeholders to Ramadan Iftar.

Shettima, in a statement by his media aide, Stanley Nkwocha, called for continued support for the Tinubu administration by all Nigerians, just as he said the government’s policies would be immensely beneficial to all and sundry in no distant time.

He specifically cited the power supply challenge in Maiduguri and some parts of Borno State which he noted to have caught the President’s attention, and thus directed that the situation be immediately addressed.

“We owe it to this President to be loyal and law-abiding citizens. He has a total grasp of the situation, challenges and, indeed, the prospects we have as a nation. A careful look at our nation’s economy will show a gradual bouncing back on most frontiers.

“This is a testament that, indeed, our investment of our votes and trust in this leader will pay off at the end of the road. So, let us continue to pray for him, commit ourselves to peace, unity and development of the Nigerian nation and we shall definitely be the winners for it,” the Vice President charged.

Also speaking at the event, Chairman of Borno Elders Forum, Alhaji Gambo Gubio, expressed deep belief and trust in the capacities of both the President and his Vice.

Secretary of the Forum, Dr. Bulama Gubio, who acknowledged the commitment of the Tinubu-led administration to the Nigerian project also added that the President deserves support from all Nigerians.

Senator representing Borno Central, Senator Kaka Shehu Lawan; Member representing Maiduguri Federal Constituency, Rt. Hon. Abdulkadir Rahis; Ya Abba Kolo; Prof Umar Kyari, and Engr. Ibrahim Abba Umar were among several other guests and stakeholders at the event.
