Ogbonnaya Onu, minister of science and technology, says President Muhammadu Buhari has good intentions aimed at developing Nigeria.

Speaking on Tuesday during the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) membership registration exercise at Uburu in Ohaozara local government area of Ebonyi state, the minister urged Nigerians to trust the government.

Onu applauded the president for the recent changes made in the security system in the country, saying the nation is winning the war against insecurity.

“There is what I really will let Nigerians know, that the founders of APC decided that the time has come for a political party that can get back the values that were missing in our system,” he said.

“There is the need for Nigerians to start trusting their government, because trust is very important, and you only trust your government when it is doing those things it has promised that it must do.

“And you can see that the administration of Buhari is working very hard to make sure that all the promises made are kept. We were just at the second Niger bridge; this is a project that has been on for a very long time.

“Other administrations made promises, but they failed to keep those promises. But the president made a promise that he is going to build the second Niger bridge, and the project is over 50 percent completed. It’s like a promise made and promise kept.

“Buhari means well for Nigeria because he is keeping many of the promises he made, not minding that he came at a time when national revenue was on the decline.”
