In its bid for ease in transportation due to the increasing rate of fuel, the Niger state government has partnered with a private company to boost the transportation sector with 500 buses.
According to him, the private company, Samzung, and Rakiyat Project Ltd. would supply the state with 500 Suzuki and Toyota Hiance buses through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement.
He said that PPP is the engine oil of genuine development all over the world stating that though the PPP project flopped in the previous administration, steps have been taken to ensure that everything responsible for the failure is taken care of.
He declared: “If we must achieve the desired results, then we must be ready to do things differently. It cannot be business as usual. High levels of corruption, nepotism, greed, selfishness, and lack of sincerity contributed to the failure of similar PPP arrangements in the state in the past.
Vatsa also highlighted other areas where the government would focus on PPP arrangements including agriculture, health, security, and infrastructural development.
