Sultan
Abubakar said the federal government should release the management of its
infrastructure in the states to state governments.
The monarch made the suggestion on Monday in a goodwill
message he presented at the opening of a two-day investment forum organised by
the Niger State government with the theme: “Impact Investing for Advancing
Agricultural Economy and Innovation.”
The Sultan said because of the federal system being operated
in the country “state governments cannot have access to these infrastructures”.
“As we talk about devolution of power, I think we should talk
about the devolution of the economy,” the traditional ruler said, adding that
such would reduce unemployment prevalent in most parts of the country.
