Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola is in fresh trouble.
The Arewa Youth Consultative Council (AYCC) has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to sack him.
The Group’s National President, Zaid Ayuba Alhaji in a press conference said;
“Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola has failed to fix the Kano-Abuja highway, which is causing a lot of road mishaps that kill many northerners daily.”
“Fashola should be removed from that office. He can be taken to a different ministry but not Works and Housing.”
“All scientific and practical evidence show that Julius Berger, as a road construction company, has the capacity to finish the Kano-Abuja Road before 2021, but we are painfully forced to wait for eight years, despite the incessant kidnappings and deaths of our people along that road.”
“This is the most important economically valued road in the north, just like the Lagos-Ibadan express way in the South. As it is, armed robbers, bandits and kidnappers take advantage of the bad Kano-Abuja road to ambush their victims.”
