Akume emphasized that Tinubu’s desire to develop all parts of Nigeria is sacrosanct and a task that must be achieved.
He stated, “Tinubu is doing a lot in about eight different areas to ensure that Nigeria experiences holistic development in all spheres of endeavors. The Tinubu administration intends to industrialize the country through diversification. We are looking at those days of Kaduna Textile and many other industrialized areas in the north. We intend to revisit those good old days of the Kaduna Textile to further boost and solidify the economy of the country via industrialization. These and many more will be achieved by the administration of Tinubu, who after two years and two months in office has achieved so much.”
