Former NATO Chairman Calls On FG To Repair Federal Roads

The former NATO Chairman of Potiskum local government area of Yobe state, Alhaji Abdullahi Garba Alele, Gadodomasun Fika, has called on the federal government to repair our country’s roads to cushion the effects of the fuel subsidy removal.
Alhaji Abdullahi Garba Alele Gadodomasun Fika made the call in an interview with the Newsmen in Damaturu, the Yobe state capital.
“We have this fuel in Nigeria; we have three refernaries in Nigeria; let the government repair these refernaries; even one is better than giving 8,000 or 10,000 to the masses monthly, he said.
He revealed that we, as a transporter government, remove our own since the removal of subsidies on petrol has touched the whole country because everybody has a connection with petrol.
The Gadodomasun Fika further said, To my knowledge, the government removed this fuel subsidy with good intentions, and if they say they are going to utilize the money derived from the removal of the subsidy, it will improve the living standard of the masses.
“As we found ourselves in our country Nigeria some unpatriotic leaders if thing enter into their hand it will not reach the place where is supposed to reach the hands of the poor man.” Alele said.

He also maintained that the issue of dollars was the thing that scattered us everything in Nigeria, and with the dollars, we are doing everything in Nigeria, adding that the people who supply the fuel are not strangers, but our people, our brothers in Nigeria.
Therefore, the former NATO chairman appeals to the government to look into the situation of our people. Due to the hardship and the cost of living, people are seriously suffering in this country.
Alhaji Alele also appeals to the federal government to repair our roads across the country because, as transporters, we know how we are suffering as a result of the bad condition of our roads in the country.
He appeals to the people of the country to be patient and continue praying for this hardship and the cost of life. May Almighty Allah bring us the solution. As the past government asked people to go back to farming, let us answer the call and go back to farming.
