El-Rufai Made My Administration’s Privatisation Programme Successful – Obasanjo

Date:

A former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, on Sunday, said that Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is behind the success of his administration’s privatisation programme.

 El-Rufai was the first Director-General of the Bureau of Public Enterprises, PBE, established by Obasanjo in his first term as President between 1999 and 2003.
In a congratulatory message to mark the 60th birthday of the Governor, Obasanjo said that El-Rufai also turned around the infrastructural and socio-economic development of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, when he was the Minister of the FCT also under his administration.


In the message, copies of which were made available to journalists by his Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, the former President described the Governor as a Nigerian who has demonstrated rare qualities of commitment and courage in the public service in various capacities.

“Over the years, I have followed, with keen interest, your modest inspiring career as a professional Architect, Community Leader, administrator and politician. And I note, with special delight your demonstration of rare qualities of commitment and courage in the public service in various capacities.

“Under my watch as a democratically-elected President of Nigeria, you made a great success of our privatization programme as the Director-general of Bureau of Public Enterprises, which resulted in the liberalisation of our nation’s economy and our being able to meet some of the challenges of globalisation and tackling the problem of poverty in our land.

“I must also applaud the giant strides in terms of infrastructural and socio-economic development which the Federal Capital Territory FCT, recorded under your focused administration as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. I salute the uncommon sense of duty and patriotism demonstrated by you at enhancing sanity in the physical development at the FCT.

“Without any doubt, as the incumbent Governor of Kaduna State, you have contributed to the well-being of your people, especially in the implementation of populist programmes and infrastructural development in the state.

“I can only implore you not to rest on your oars and to re-double your efforts as the Chief Executive of one of the most politically restive states in the North West of the country to ensure peace, stability and security in the State until we collectively, propel our dear country to the promised land.

“I trust you will continue the good work you are doing to the glory of God and to the benefit of our people,” Obasanjo wrote.
