Fuel subsidy removal gave governors resources to deliver dividends of democracy: Gov Sule

The governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule, says President Bola Tinubu’s reforms provided the 36 state governments, including the Federal Capital Territory, the resources to deliver dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
Mr Sule stated this during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between Nasarawa State and the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations on the building of University of Public Relations/Leadership on Monday in Abuja.
According to him, Mr Tinubu’s reforms, especially the removal of the fuel subsidy, provided all states with financial muscles to carry out developmental projects to better the lives of Nigerians.
“President Tinubu is a committed human being. He works very hard.
“If not for the work that the president has done to give Nasarawa State the kind of resources we have, we would not have been able to promise and commit to the NIPR’s project.
“When I give credit to Tinubu, it is not because I am looking for anything from him whatsoever.
“I am giving the credit to him because, while he is taking the heat for the reforms, we are taking the joy.
“This is because we are getting the resources that we were able to do a lot with,” Mr Sule said.
The governor stated that Mr Tinubu is happy with Nasarawa State because he has seen what we are doing by investing the money for the benefit of the people.
He said that the newly built state secretariat and other people-oriented projects were possible because of resources obtained as a result of Mr Tinubu’s reforms.
