The governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Sule has said that he joined to politics ready to serve the people of the state.
Sule said he was prepared to stay alive to his responsibilities as the governor of Nasarawa State when he was elected in 2019.
Speaking as a guest lecturer at the National Defence College in Abuja, Sule said he put in quite some effort to understand the state that he was elected to govern before assumption into office.
He said, “I had to understand the state, I spent most of my time outside the state from its creation to certain period, so I had to go into the planning of engaging a consultant.
“That was when I brought in KPMG to assist me to go to the state and come out with the various aspect of challenges in the state,” he said.
The Nasarawa State governor added that he used the to opportunity to also figure out what prospects were available for the state, the low hanging fruits and how to manage them for growth and sustainability.
Sule said, “I always had the urge that when I have the authority, I will be part of the development. Because creating the state is one thing and developing the state is another. This is one of the motivations driving me to join politics.”
