Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special
Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media
and Publicity, on Sunday, said the Federal
Government had set aside N3 trillion for projects in
2016.
Shehu disclosed this while speaking with newsmen on
the sidelines of a dinner held to celebrate the child
dedication of Mr Paul Ibe, the Head of the Atiku Media
Office in Abuja.
According to him, the government of President Buhari
will make sure that contractors are mobilised and
paid for executing the jobs.
He urged Nigerians to be patient with the All
Progressives Congress (APC)-led government as it
would deliver.
He added that ``unlike what we have in the past, this
government will award contracts and back them up
with money to ensure their conclusion.
``Nigerians will be happy in a short while; let us just
have a little more patience.''
The presidential aide, who said he attended the event
to identify with the celebrator who had been a long
standing companion, noted that the Federal
Government had saved more than N3 trillion from the
Treasure Single Account (TSA).
