"Corruption has eaten deep into our national lives, even those elected to serve the people demand something before doing their job."
The Governor of Niger State Babangida Aliyu made this known in Minna on Monday at the opening of the 1st Niger state Investment Climate Summit with the theme 'Building A Sustainable Business Environment in Niger State'.
"We must fight this evil called corruption in our national life we must invest in education especially the Girl Child education this is the way to reform our national life."
Aliyu continued that for the private sector to grow and play the role expected of it the nation should invest more in the security of the country because "we cannot be talking about investment if there is no security even a charity organization will not go to an insecure environment."
He also said that the country should find a way to create equity among the federating states which will make all states attractive to investors insisting that his postulation is not about challenging people asking for resource control but the that the nation should be fair to all parts of the country.
Aliyu further said that it will not help the country and especially its private sector if the nation continues to be importer of all types of consumables before throwing his weight behind the federal government's plan to ban the importation of rice and other agricultural goods that country has the potential to cultivate.
He directed Executive Council Committee which he put in place to rid the Suleja Kaduna road particularly at Maje of tankers that have been constituted themselves to nuisance by obstructing free movement of traffic on the road.
The Council committee has one week to clear the tankers from the area and move them to their normal parks.
As the government continues to wind down and prepare for handover to a new administration in May 2015, Governor Aliyu directed all ministries and government agencies to complete a review of the activities of the administration latest April 2015.
Most Commissioners presented the 'score cards' of their ministries at the summit drawing attention to the favorable policies the administration has put in place to attract both local and foreign investors to the state.
At the event Governor Aliyu was honoured with the Visionary Leadership Award of the state.
