Aminu Tambuwal, Sokoto governor, says the needs of his state are basic social amenities and infrastructure.
He said the priorities of Sokoto people were different from other states, particularly those inaugurating bridges and flyovers.
The governor made this known to civil servants and heads of government agencies who paid him the traditional Sallah homage at government house on Sunday in Sokoto.
Tambuwal said he would not use available scarce resources to construct flyovers in place of people’s needs in the areas of health, education and access roads.
“Our needs are completely different, states by states, and our priorities are not the same,” he said.
“I will not take Sokoto money to construct flyovers or bridges; these are not the priority of the state. Our priorities are tailored to the needs of our people What we need in Sokoto state, particularly for our people in the rural areas are not bridges, flyovers, which are projects in billions.
