The Governor of Niger State, Dr Muazu Babangida Aliyu has said that he would use the 2013 fiscal year to consolidate on his achievements and complete all ongoing projects.
Aliyu who spoke yesterday in an interview in Minna on the expectations of his administration in 2013 said that, he had ran out of patience with those trying to draw his administration back in the determination to provide the people with the needed services.
He stated that “We want to consolidate and complete what we started. The only new things that we will start will be some few new roads, the stadium, the city centre, the twin city and Garam industrial layout. Otherwise most of the things we have started will be the ones to be completed”.
The governor posited that in 2013 the government would consolidate on the implementation of?? policies and programmes? that are people oriented.
He said government would rationalise its workforce by deploying workers to where they could be more appropriately used without sending them out of service.
Aliyu said, “We should be careful not to send people into the labour market. What we can do is to along the line rationalise so that we take people to where they can be more useful, not to lose their job or salaries”.
While saying that it was not right to allow more people to do a job one person can do he said, “Those are the things to expect but most importantly like I said, I have no more patience with those who are indolent or those who will draw us back because we are now set to deliver”.
On the developments in the north he said that insecurity in the region had crippled economic activities.
