The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), on Thursday in Katsina State, berated the Nigerian elite for being “very selfish” rather than uniting their might for the welfare of their fellow citizens.
After that, he inspected and unveiled several developmental projects in education, health care and road infrastructure.
Buhari, who is on a two-day state visit, also inspected ongoing work on the first flyover in Katsina’s Government Reserved Area, which is 90 per cent completed. He said: “Despite all these, however, the State Government has been consistent in the payment of salaries, pension, overhead costs to Ministries, Departments and Agencies as well as other Social Services such as Medical Assistance to Patients and educational assistance to Students from Universities and other tertiary institutions within and outside the country, assistance to Mosques, Islamiyya Schools and other religious organisations across the 34 Local Government Areas.
“Verifiable record indicates that by 2022 ending, the State Government has expended the sum of N357,927,829,790.87 on the above-mentioned purposes.”
