The President made the promise at the Aso Rock Villa when he had an interactive session with members of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Alumini Association, of which he is a member.
“I promise you that the day I leave office, you will be proud alumni of the UNIPORT. I will not disappoint you. I will not disappoint Nigerians.”
He said that sometimes people claimed that the administration had not achieved anything but he took all the criticisms in good fate, knowing that others appreciated.
He said the administration had intervened in many critical areas, such as railways and road infrastructure, reviving more than 80 per cent of the existing narrow gauge and even doing more.
The President said that he inherited a total of 5,000 kms of motorable roads which his administration had increased to 20,000 kms out of the existing 35,000 kms.
According to him, his administration had also recorded success in job creation as through the `YouWin’ programme alone, more than 3,000 graduates had become employers of labour in the manufacturing and services sectors with some of them already exporting their products.
He expressed optimism that in the next 10 years, Nigerians would marvel at the input of the `YouWin’ beneficiaries to the growth of the economy, adding that Nigerians were equally reaping benefits from the power sector reforms.
