The programme, aired in Yoruba Language, was monitored by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos.
Mohammed said the Buhari government was delivering on its election promises in spite of economic crunch due to dwindling price of crude oil and the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy.
He said in terms of massive infrastructure renewal and delivery, Buhari’s government surpassed previous administrations which experienced oil boom but failed to effectively utilise it to better the lives of Nigerians.
Buttressing his position on the development in key sectors, Mohammed explained that since 1987, there was no definite investment in the railway lnfrastructure, until Buhari came in 2015.
He said many railway routes had been established, standard gauges inaugurated and many modern coaches acquired by the government, thereby transforming land transportation.
