Plang highlighted the significance of the budget’s focus on human capital and infrastructure development, citing the allocation of funds for the construction of a six-lane road linking Akwanga, Jos, and Gombe, a route that has been in a state of disrepair for years.
He acknowledged the country’s challenges but expressed confidence in the administration’s ability to tackle them through strategic investments and policy implementation.
“With the provisions in the 2025 budget, I believe we are on the right path as a country. This is an opportunity for Nigeria to push its development agenda forward.
“We are at a point where everyone should contribute to making Nigeria better, and I believe that with the support of every citizen, the 2025 budget will address the needs of all Nigerians,” the senator said.
When asked about the budget’s potential impact on his constituents, Plang assured that allocations for critical sectors would have a positive trickle-down effect, improving the lives of Nigerians, including those in Plateau Central.
He pledged to work closely with his colleagues in the National Assembly to ensure the effective implementation of the budget and its programmes.
