Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, has endorsed the remarks made by Kwankwaso regarding the lack of visible development in the North under the current administration. Kwankwaso expressed concerns about the region's underdevelopment, citing the absence of significant projects.
Lawal's Endorsement
Lawal, a large-scale farmer and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi State, concurred with Kwankwaso's assessment. He pointed out that the North is not receiving its fair share of developmental projects, which is affecting the region's growth and prosperity.
Criticism of Government Policies
Lawal also criticized the government's decision to import expired rice and maize, arguing that it undermines local farmers and exacerbates the country's reliance on foreign goods. He emphasized the need for policies that support local production and development [1].
Implications for the North
The North's underdevelopment has significant implications for the region's economy, infrastructure, and social welfare. Lawal's endorsement of Kwankwaso's claim highlights the need for the government to prioritize development projects in the North and address the region's specific challenges [1].
