Democracy Day: Gombe, Fastest Developing State in Nigeria – Governor Inuwa
In a goodwill message to the good people of Gombe State to mark this year’s Democracy Day today, Governor Inuwa Yahaya said Gombe is the fastest developing state in the country.
He, said, “from a small rural community, Gombe has grown to emerge on the pinnacle of Nigeria’s development as the fastest developing state in the country.”
Governor Inuwa expressed appreciation that Nigeria’s democratic maturity has shattered the myths about African democracy being under the grip of one single leader or political party.
He celebrates Nigerians for resolving to maintain democracy as the means of governance in the country. He said the 22 years of uninterrupted democratic rule in Nigeria is unprecedented and has proven naysayers wrong.
“After 22 years of uninterrupted democracy, I make bold to say that Nigeria’s democracy has come of age. We have witnessed successful transitions of power from one administration to the next, and from one political party to another” the Governor said.
While speaking on the progress of democratic governance in Gombe State, the Governor stressed that “we are living witnesses to how development and progress can be delivered through a robust democratic process.”
The Governor attributed the growth of the state to the two decades of hard work, stability and progress that were made possible by the undying aspirations of the people for good governance and development.
Governor Inuwa said, “During our two-year anniversary two weeks ago, we showcased our tremendous achievements across all facets of social and economic development, from road infrastructure to agriculture, education, health, water resources and environment, commerce and industry, rural and urban development, civil service reforms, youth and women empowerment among others.”
He added that “As a Government that rode to the power on tremendous public goodwill, the verdict is clear- that we have been able to touch positively on the lives of our people. From township and rural roads to water supply, from huge investment in education and health care to Agriculture and industrialization and coupled with our track record of prudent financial management, civil service reform and Internal security, we have demonstrated that our administration is on track to deliver on our campaign promises”.
He said the cumulative effect of his administration’s prudence and leadership character is the coming of various development partners to the state with remarkable results to show.
“Gombe is now the best state in the ease of doing business in Nigeria and has been adjudged the safest and most peaceful state. It is now clearly that the Jewel in the Savannah is now set on the path of a new dawn and the impact of our transformational leadership is gaining traction within three years of our stewardship”.
