He argued that within this shortest period of five years of political governance, he has transformed the policy of intention to realities, in which he prioritized five key areas, namely Agriculture, Energy, Infrastructure, Healthm and Education. Which he says have been underpinned with prudent economic measures that have attracted economic detonation in the private sector investments, which currently puts the country’s as the second hottest economy in the global village according to index rating.

He said this result go alongside with the robust Anti-Graft Agency which he empowers with stringent laws in checkmating the social integrity morals of public and civil servants.
