The proof is in the pudding today in Jigawa State of Nigeria. Sule Lamido has invested the meagre state resources into modern infrastructures, agriculture, education, health care and sustainable energy sources with the primary goals of poverty alleviation and wealth creation. Jigawa State now has the most extensive and modern road network systems in Nigeria today. Jigawa State under Sule Lamido built the Rasheed Shekoni Specialist Hospital in Dutse which is now the best tertiary and teaching hospital in Nigeria today. Sule Lamido is the number one governor in Nigeria with massive investment into the solar energy resources making the state a leader in green energy in Nigeria today.
On education, Sule Lamido has renovated and modernized over 100 high schools. Education is now made mandatory for all the male students in Jigawa State today and it is free for female students up to the university level. Sule Lamido has also met his target of providing safe drinking water to the people of Jigawa State by the year 2010 through the building of hundreds of modern wells and boreholes across his state. On housing, giant housing estates are springing up across the state with over 450 new duplexes already constructed outside Dutse, the state capital.
At the Ramadan breakfast meeting with his party leaders in Dutse, Sule Lamido said this "Today, I am proud to say that I have not only accomplished but delivered all the campaign promises I made even with extra more in terms of developing Jigawa state and bringing dividend of democracy to my people. We have provided the best of roads, the best airport, best working environment for civil servants, best health care service, best education system, best judicial system, solid foundation for economic and infrastructural development, and above all we promote discipline, due process, rule of law patriotism and respect to human dignity among ourselves and our young generation. We made sure that we added value to everything and on everyone in Jigawa including my “detractors who have been fighting me tooth and nail to get relevance outside Jigawa. I challenge anybody to judge my statement from the book I presented during my inaugural speech in 2007”#TheBestGovernorInNigeriaToday.
