Our
attention has been drawn, on a statement by some group of youths, who
are pretending to be members of our ruling party, this youths claim to
regret misleading people into voting for the APC led administration due
to lack of projects. We wish to state categorically that we, the youths
of APC in southern Kaduna, who have been with the party even from its
campaigning days, do not know them.
We
may wish to remind the good people of Kaduna state that in just two
years of the Nasir el-Rufai led administration, the APC Government has
brought about several investments in Agriculture, Commerce and Industry,
Education, Environment, Rural and Community development, investments
and promotion, Natural resources, Financial prudence, improvement in
education, infrastructures to mention but a few.
It
is worthy of note that this administration is one of only four states
in Nigeria that pays its wage bills as at when due and carry out
developmental projects alongside despite the limited federal allocation
that was caused by the inability to save from monies accrued when oil
price was quite high.
May
we remind the good people of Kaduna state that sometime back before we
got into power, Kaduna state was getting as much as Seven Billion Naira
Monthly as federal allocation. Today, the state has to make do with as
low as Two Billion Naira, our financial prudence and an improved IGR,
ensured that Governor Nasir el-Rufai performed astoundingly within this
short period of time. In this last two years, the government has
upgraded 6 Business Apprenticeship Training Centers (BATC) Schools, to
Community Skills Development Centers (COSDECs) and will be equipping
each with a minimum of 100million Naira worth of training equipment.
Today,
we have ongoing road projects in all Local Governments of the State, we
have schools undergoing renovation, School desks and chairs are been
supplied even as we speak, We have acquired and distributed assorted
fertilizers in this farming season at a rate as low as 5,500 Naira per
50kg bag.
So far, a
record 294 projects are ongoing in Schools around the Southern Region of
the state, these projects range from rehabilitation of dilapidated
school structures, construction of solar boreholes, construction of
toilets, and the supply of furniture to these schools. We are also
renovating and upgrading 255 Primary Health Care (PHC) centers one each
in every ward across the State.
Southern
Kaduna has multiple government projects going on in Clinics and
Hospitals, these projects includes procurement of surgical equipment,
Procurement of Dialysis Machines, Upgrading of Laboratory and
Procurement of Containerized modular TB Lab, Supply of Hospital
Furniture, Supply, Installation and Commissioning of Central Sterile
Supplies, Supply, Installation and Commissioning of Emergency
Intervention Patient Transport Equipment for A&E, and a Proposed
fencing for each Rural Hospital.
The
APC led administration has engaged in partnerships to transform Kaduna
into an industrial hub by facilitating the establishment of OLAM (Crown
Flour Mill) a multi million Dollars investment in Chikun Local
Government and facilitating the establishment of VICAMPRO in Manchok. To
Fulfill His Excellency's promise to establish a Ginger corridor in
Southern Kaduna, a commodity aggregation centre has been established
which will be upgraded to a Ginger platform to empower the people of
Kachia Local Government, Southern Kaduna, Kaduna State and Nigeria at
large
Sometime ago, we
held a press briefing to condemn the vandalism of the Military base that
was commissioned by our Governor Mallam Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai and the
26th Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai. We
want to use this opportunity to thank the government for ensuring that
we now have a formidable military base in Southern Kaduna; we also wish
to thank the Nigerian Air-force for deploying fighter Helicopters in
order to beef up security.
We
therefore uphold a vote of confidence on the Nasir El-Rufai
Administration. We are proud to be associated with him. We hereby call
on the Government and good people of Kaduna State, to continue the
pursuit of giant developmental strides.
Long live Southern Kaduna APC Youth Stakeholders
Long live the good people of Southern Kaduna
Long Live the Good People of Kaduna State
Long live the APC Family
Long live Nigeria.
