Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has emphasized the importance of prioritizing food security, which he referred to as “stomach infrastructure.” Obasanjo made these remarks during the unveiling of 136 housing units purchased by the Sokoto state government for N1.820 billion.
The housing units are aimed at low-income earners and other community members in need of housing. Obasanjo praised Governor Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto for his efforts in addressing food security, transportation, road construction, agriculture, and housing projects.
“Your strong, energetic, and resilient qualities in leadership have made you get it all within the space of time of your one year. Putting all these in place will surely brighten your chances of seeking a second-term mandate without stress,” Obasanjo said.
He also commended Senator Aliyu Wamakko and Sultan Sa’ad Abubakar for their dedicated contributions to the state’s development, highlighting Wamakko as a commendable political mentor and Sultan Abubakar as a role model within the caliphate.
Governor Aliyu Sokoto noted the state government’s significant investments in various projects, including road constructions, empowerment programs, water and agricultural support for farmers, and hospital upgrades. He affirmed the government’s commitment to providing modern facilities such as Islamiyya schools, markets, and playgrounds across the state.
