Member representing Wase Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Ahmed Idris Wase, has expressed support for the ongoing economic reforms being implemented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, stating that despite the pains, these were “necessary steps” towards guaranteeing a secure future for Nigeria.

Wase, who was Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 9th National Assembly (2019-2023) also gave kudos to the transformative infrastructure projects being executed by the administration of Barr. Caleb Mutfwang in Plateau State.

In a statement he personally signed, the lawmaker, who is serving his 5th term in the House of Representatives, stated that President Tinubu deserves accolades for his determination to root out insecurity across the country.

According to him, “While acknowledging that we still face certain challenges as a nation, especially in terms of security, it must be admitted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu stepped into office as our Leader with an uncommon zeal and determination to tackle the myriads of problems that his administration inherited.

“Much more so, Mr. President has continued to galvanise the top echelon of the nation's security and economic sectors towards enhancing the livelihoods of Nigerians”, he added, stressing that it was imperative to recognise and commend President Tinubu’s three years of “resilient and purposeful stewardship” of the nation.

“Mr. President’s progressive socio-economic reforms and strategic foresight have enlivened hope across the length and breadth of Nigeria”, Wase said, adding that President Tinubu has proven that even in the face of global economic tides, his administration “possesses the cerebral mettle to navigate our nation towards a secure and prosperous enclave”.

Commenting on Barr. Mutfwang’s three years in office as governor of Plateau State, the lawmaker said the administration “has brought a visible stronghold of inclusive growth, peace and systemic development” to the state.

He acknowledged some of the governor’s achievements in such areas urban renewal and road infrastructure projects, the "Metro Bus" transit initiative intended to ease commuter hardship within the Jos-Bukuru axis, as well as the administration’s healthcare, education and agricultural sector projects, such as the upgrade of the Plateau State Specialist Hospital with new paediatric wards and laboratories, renovation of dilapidated public schools across the state, and improvement of local agricultural access routes in places like Bassa, Wase, and Langtang.

Wase concluded by pledging the support of the people of Wase Federal Constituency to the Tinubu and Mutfwang administrations at the federal level, and in Plateau State respectively. “We remain committed to working hand-in-hand with you to guarantee a prosperous, peaceful and united Nigeria, and a secure and flourishing Plateau State”, he said.
