The President said this on Tuesday at the State House when he hosted a delegation from Kaduna State led by the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Ahmed Bamalli, and Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Hadiza Balarabe.

He said that the intervention on the Lagos-Ibadan route with completion of road and rail lines had improved the traffic significantly.

“My objective was very clear, despite the dwindling resources, I wanted to deal with infrastructure across the country.

“We should look at advancement in terms of infrastructure. No country can advance without infrastructure. There used to be railways, especially people from Southern Kaduna will remember this.

“Which country can really advance without road, rail and power that’s why I wanted to sort out infrastructure.

“I know that Nigerians are competitive by nature and they will face their businesses when there is road, rail and power,’’ he said.

Buhari said the challenge of commuting in the South West had been improved with the rehabilitation of the transport infrastructure.

“The people from South West can tell better because between Lagos and Ibadan by now, if we hadn’t done what we did, people would have been trekking.

“This is because the road was not there, the rail was not there and there was so much insecurity.

“But we thank the international community. We thank China and Chinese investors who came along to support the Lagos-Ibadan transport projects,’’ he said.
