“Without infrastructure, it is difficult to reduce costs. When the roads are completed, farmers will have better access, which will help bring down prices.”

Wike stressed that the administration’s focus on infrastructure expansion will ultimately boost economic growth by opening rural areas to more opportunities.

Wike acknowledged the constant criticism of government’s progress, but reassured the public that they would witness positive changes in due course.

“Before this administration completes its first term, Nigerians will witness real change.
