Obasanjo To Nigerian Leaders: Prioritise, Focus On Food Security, ‘Stomach Infrastructure’

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has emphasised the importance of prioritising food security, particularly the concept of “stomach infrastructure.”

He made the remarks at the unveiling of 136 housing units acquired by the Sokoto state government for N1.820 billion.

The housing units are intended for low-income earners and other citizens in need of shelter.

Obasanjo praised Governor Ahmed Aliyu Sokoto for his efforts in addressing various issues such as food security, transportation, road construction, agriculture, and housing projects.

He commended the governor’s dedication, comparing it to the strength and resilience of a stallion horse.

“Your strong, energetic, and resilient qualities in leadership have made you get it all within the space of time of your one year.

“Putting all these in place will surely brighten your chances of seeking a second-term mandate without stress”, he expressed optimism.
