<\/p>\nNAN reports that Sambo made the commendation when he paid a courtesy visit to the governor in Kaduna.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an important milestone,\u201d he said, adding that it had addressed the perennial potable water shortage in the ancient city and improved social and economic life of the people.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am particularly humbled for recognizing my contribution to the successful completion of the water project during the commissioning.<\/p>\n
\u201cCertainly you have shown that improving the lives of our people matter the most to you,\u201d Sambo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn particular the 300 bed specialist hospital when completed will provide enabling environment to train our doctors and other medical personnel, improve health care delivery and end medical tourism.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not surprised at your immense achievements; I have clearly read your industrial and development plans and I want to assure you of our support to the noble objective in improving and uplifting the economic status of the state,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Responding, El-Rufai said: \u201cYou are the best of all governor of Kaduna state. Some governors caused problems, we are trying to solve them, some engaged in their businesses, we tried to reverse it.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour vision for the development of Kaduna state is paramount, and I will give examples, because it\u2019s okay to make a statement like that; you visualised what Zaria needed you called consultants to study the problem and proposed solution to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou went to Abidjan, Tunis, Jeddah and arrange the financing for the Zaria water project, you pushed the Federal Government to build Galma Dam to provide water for this project.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou had everything in place, fortunately, you have to move up to higher office. That was when the problems started until we came to office we decided that we are going to deal with the problem once for all.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to commend you for your vision, focus and efforts. It\u2019s only now we are implementing other projects envisioned by you,\u201d El-Rufai added.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
