President Muhammadu Buhari, has said his government has fulfilled the ‘change’ promise made to Nigerians.
Speaking in Enugu on Thursday, President Buhari said his government had fulfilled that promise in several areas.
He spoke at Ugwuogo Nike in Enugu East Local Government Area of Enugu State at the commissioning and handing over of the Federal Government Housing Estate in the State.
Buhari’s speech was read by his representative, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, the Minister for Foreign Affairs.
“When our party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, sought your mandate to form the Government in 2015, one of the things we promised was change.
“This housing estate is an example of the fulfilment of that promise of change,” Buhari said.
While lauding the Enugu State Government for proving the land space, the President described it as a good example of some of the developmental possibilities that inter-governmental collaboration can provide, adding that “I am optimistic that with the provision of more land, the Federal Government certainly can do more.”
He disclosed the Housing Scheme across the country had created jobs and boosted the economy of micro, small and medium-size businesses, who he said were the ones that won the contracts to build the houses.
“our desire and commitment towards improving the human condition and our message of change have another facet beyond job creation.
“It responds to those who have long aspired to own a home and that dream has come true with this project.”
