The United Nations Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed, has charged state governors in Nigeria to deliver on their campaign promises before leaving office.
Mohammed gave the charge at the 2023 Nigeria Governors’ Forum induction for new and returning State Governors held May 14-17 2023, in Abuja.
Mohammed says that under the constitution of Nigeria, State Governors have the authority and the responsibility to deliver on critical foundations of infrastructure and basic services leading to social and economic development.
She acknowledged that resource constraints were very real and that prioritising, phasing and levering other partnerships would be key.
