“I am very impressed to see the level of infrastructure development and the cleanliness of the city of Maiduguri. The Vice President, His Excellency, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, who was a two-term Governor of this state and former senator, provided a very solid governance template. He built on what he met on the ground. Similarly, the present administration of His Excellency, Prof. Babagana Zulum is building on what the former governor left behind, to deepen development for the people of Borno State.
“I commend these leaders and express my absolute delight at their commitment to the well-being of the people of this State. They have demonstrated how sustainable governance can be strengthened for the benefit of the people,” Chukwuma said.
Reacting to the recent support of the presidential tax reforms by the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), Chukwuma said the forum’s decision was patriotic and commendable. “I commend, without any restraint, the decision by the NGF to support the presidential tax reforms. It is a step in the right direction and one that is borne out of patriotism. These reforms are crucial in our quest to build a working and efficient system in Nigeria,” he said.
