Because in 2015, after a hundred days we did not have a federal cabinet, the President had not appointed ministers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time in hundred days, from my interaction with a number of Ministers, even the budget for 2020 is already being prepared. Ministers have been assigned to their various Ministries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have already started the process of taking over and trying to understand the challenges. Government is already affectively on ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo even that alone shows a remarkable departure if you compare what the President has done in 2019 to what he has done in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the current issues in South Africa, the prompt manner in which the President reacted and took bold steps sent a clear message to South Africa that we are not about to accept Nigeria being humiliated in their businesses. I think the bold step he has taken is refreshing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President has been engaging various groups. Recently, he was talking to the Nigeria Society of Engineers, several professional groups, reminding all of us that we have our role to play in the Nigeria project.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a Party we have every access to the President, we see him any time we want to see him and share with him whatever we want to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou notice that this time, the President also organized a retreat for Ministers immediately they were appointed. That retreat was not about entertainment, it was to discuss about Nigeria and the administration\u2019s policy choices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd of course reminding the Ministers about the fact that there is huge expectation out there at a time of dwindling resources. Now government challenge is where do we cut cost so that we can find resources we need to sustain investment in infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oshiomhole explains challenge facing federal govt to develop infrastructure The National Chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC)\u00a0Adams Oshiomhole, on Friday said the current administration was bothered on where to raise funds to finance infrastructure in the country.
