Buhari seeks accountability in management of ECOWAS resources
Please seek accountability in NNPC. Your war against corruption has failed because it is selective.
Buhari, seek accountability in the Villa and your administration first before any other thing. serve as a catalyst for the industrial and commercial development of the state. In the last two years, a new Organic Fertiliser Production Plant located at Dundaye, a joint venture between Sokoto State Government and Industrial Miners Limited, was completed and put to use. The company is producing 15,000 metric tons of fertilizer daily. Another industry developed is the Hijrah Textile Company located at Kalambaina Industrial Layout. Work on the site has now reached 80% stage of completion. Similarly, construction of a Sugar Processing Factory has started in Goronyo. The project is being promoted by a number of sugar entrepreneurs in the state.
In 2018, plans have been concluded to establish additional Neem (Dogon Yaro) Tree Organic Fertilizer Company in partnership with local and foreign investors; Construction of Ceramic Products Company at Taloka in Goronyo Local Government through Public Private Partnership; establishment of Quarry Plant at Sabon Birni Village in Kebbe Local Government; construction of Laboratory Centre for sample tests and analysis; and construction of two additional Mineral Buying Centres in the other zones as the State had already acquired one built by the Federal Government for the Central Zone.
The takeaway from the Sokoto 2018 budget document is that the developmental and infrastructural needs of the economy have not been neglected in pursuit of a consumptive expenditure. What we have seen in the budget document is a broad desire to industrialise the state and hence uplift the livelihoods of its people by ushering decent jobs and opportunities for private capital to flourish. Since 2015, Sokoto has exhibited progressive economic management regimes, the very strides that have been gradually transforming its economy and has continued to deliver dividends.
