The Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, said on Tuesday Nigerians would appreciate President Muhammadu Buhari more after he leaves office in 2023.
Sule, who stated this in a chat with State House correspondents at the end of a closed-door meeting with the President in Abuja, said many Nigerians would not see Buhari’s achievements until he leaves office in less than 18 months from now.
The governor said President had revamped the country’s agricultural and oil and gas sectors since he assumed office in 2015.
He said: “I told the President that some of your efforts for the country will be more appreciated when you leave office. Today, you are the architect of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline. Recently Nasarawa State signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) after our gas roundtable in the state capital, Lafia, where the top management officials of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) were present.
“We discussed gas utilisation and we are bringing our own experience of what happened with the West African gas pipeline, where it was tapped from Sagamu into Ikeja and all the industries there are utilising gas.
