The Director, Publicity and Advocacy, Northern Elders Forum, Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, in a statement issued in Kaduna on Monday and made available to DAILY POST, observed that, “The Forum is deeply shocked by this information.
The forum said it received information from those with responsibility for the reconstruction of the Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano highway that work on this vital artery in the North would not be completed for the next five years. “This project involving 375 kilometers of the most strategic highway in the North, and about the only link between the North and South was awarded in 2017 and work commenced in 2018.The slow pace of the work and the consequent deterioration of the highway had made it the most dangerous highway in the nation and the most attractive to kidnappers who have resurfaced recently to compound routine losses of lives and billions in economic losses,” the forum lamented.
The forum said, “The only thing that mattered to him were our votes. This administration has just sentenced Northerners to another five years to live with many threats to life and economy on this important highway.” In the meantime, the forum called on all citizens to raise their voices against this decision to continue to leave people who use this vital highway at the mercy of criminals and huge losses in lives and assets.

He only cares about Niger Republic his main country
This is the product of clannishness in our voting decision
We need a Regional Gov, we need to Divide YORUBA, HAUSA AND IGBO
Buhari is the greatest God in history.
50% of our money is been spent to the north so why talk rubbish, and the buhari on that seat knows nothing on history of Nigeria.
So north has their own economy, no wonder, IPOB and Oduduwa want their own country.
Event his state he don't care about them, more especially in terms of security
Who's economy and/or security does he then care about? But the same complainants will want him to continue when coast is clear for third term.
This is the type of fake news that need to be checked. MBuhari NGRPresident nassnigeria HouseNGR NigeriaGov
This is a calculated effort to malign and embarrass the president. The patriotic Nigerians know clearly that the president is doing his best to secure the North and the economy of the North has improved tremendously.
