Nigeria’s current leaders know why they were elected – Tambuwal

Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state yesterday expressed confidence on the current crop of leaders in the country, stressing that they are people who are mindful of why they were elected by the masses.

The former House of Representatives’ Speaker who lamented that a huge chunk of money meant for the development of key sectors in the country were being diverted to fighting insecurity within the last five years, asserted that insecurity was greatly undermining Nigeria’s growth and development.

He made these assertions while declaring open the 5th National Conference of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the Usman Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, where he appreciated the institution for its contributions to humanity and national development.

Speaking on the theme of the conference: “Security, National Integration and the Challenges of Development in Nigeria”, Tambuwal described it as apt, hence it could help boost the already existing peace in the state.

“As I have mentioned earlier, the theme of this year’s conference is not only timely but absolutely critical to any effort at rebuilding our society and taking the country to a better place. Without doubt, insecurity is the most daunting challenge undermining the growth and development of Nigeria as a nation,” he stated.
