He said his administration always pursue with vigour any project that will improve the standard of living of the common man and recounted how his administration worked with the relevant stakeholders for the actualisation of the Kolmani Integrated Project for the benefit of people of the state.

He said, “Just two months after assuming power, we started moving around, from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to the Presidential Villa to push for oil exploitation in Kolmani and to God be the glory, we have succeeded in securing the project. Thanks to His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari for making it a reality.

“On our part, we did everything we could to make sure that this development has come to stay in Gombe and you are all witnesses that the project has been flagged off and hopefully soon, our people will begin to reap its benefits,” he said.

He assured the people that the APC government, with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the helm of affairs will continue with oil exploitation in the North as started by President Muhammadu Buhari. 

“At the formal flag-off of Kolmani Project by President Buhari, our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, attended the ceremony and made a commitment to continue with the project when elected,” he said.
