N280bn spent by SURE-P in two years.

Mazi Sam Ohunabuwa a member of the board of The Subsidy Reinvestment and Empowerment Programme stated that they have spent N280bn on intervention projects since its inception two years ago.Please how true is this statement and what exactly did they do with the amount of money that can turn Nigeria into a fully developed country with steady power and constant electricity.He disclosed this in an interview with State House correspondents after a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan today Monday.SURE-P was set up by President Goodluck Jonathan administration to utilize the fund saved from the partial removal of fuel subsidy on developmental projects.

Ohunabuwa said the N280bn was spent on road and railway constructions among others.Please what are the others and which road was it use for????

He said the sum was part of the N360bn allocated to the programme while N80bn was rolled over.He said, “It is important to know that in two years of our existence, we have spent less than N300bn.“Out of the N360bn that was allocated to us, we rolled over N80bn; so we spent about N280bn.

“That’s what we used to get the East-West Road to where it is, the rail line running from Kano to Lagos, and all the works that have been done.

“So you can imagine if the over N1tr that was spent on subsidy is released for this kind of work, Nigeria will get the best of services.”

The programme’s Chairman, Gen. Martin Luther Agwai, also added that apart from intervening in the Abuja-Lokoja Road, SURE-P had done well in the area of maternal health by upgrading 500 health centres while work was ongoing on another 700.Please site the exact places these funds were used.Nigeria is one week one news.There is God oooh.
