In a press statement issued, yesterday, in
Onitsha, Anambra State, shortly after its
quarterly meeting, NUF also asked the
President-elect to reduce accidents on
federal roads by constructing a dual
carriage way since most of the roads were
currently single lane and in a state of
disrepair.
According to the group, the President-elect
should also implement the national confab
report as this will help fortify national unity.
NUF said after examining the outcome and
transparency of the just concluded 2015
presidential election, it had no other option
than to congratulate the President-elect.
“NUF is confident that the President-elect will
give Nigerians the desired change that will
steer the economic and security situation
towards the right direction.”
