People should find alternatives to why we shouldn't borrow- Babatunde Fashola replies critics

• Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has replied those criticising the Federal Government for borrowing funds.

Addressing reporters in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, he asked such people to provide an alternative to sourcing for funds.

“Those who say we shouldn’t borrow must have an alternative answer to where we will get the money. Those who don’t support borrowing, are they ready to support increased taxes?” he asked.

The minister blamed the slow pace of works on the federal road across the country on the paucity of funds. He went on to defend the decision of the government to borrow monies to fund its various projects in the country.

“Where do we get the money,?” Fashola queried. “It is not from President Muhammadu Buhari’s salary or the National Assembly’s salary; we are talking about quantifiable, substantial billions of naira that need to be spent to pay. That is how you move money around the economy because once you pay the contractors, they order sand, cement, iron rods. They don’t keep all those things. Where the money stops, supply stops” the minister said.

Fashola gave assurance that the government would continue to improve the economic wellbeing of the people through infrastructural development in the country.

Poulsen and Forsberg have been in fine form of late, and the Danish and Swedish internationals both found the net against the three-time cup winners.

Clear favourites going into the tie, Leipzig looked nervous with the score level at half-time, but they showed their class in the second half to set up a date with either Bayern Munich or Werder Bremen in next month’s final.

The meeting in Berlin will be a chance for Leipzig to win a first major trophy in their ten-year history.

Leipzig appeared to be on course when Poulsen rose unmarked at a corner to head them in front on 12 minutes.

Yet Bakery Jatta turned the game on its head with some quick thinking on 24 minutes.

Preying on Leipzig’s high line, Jatta stole the ball from Kevin Kampl before lobbing goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi to draw Hamburg level.

Khaled Narey missed a huge change to put the hosts ahead just before half-time, but Leipzig’s lead was restored after the break when an unfortunate Vasilie Janjicic turned Poulsen’s cross into his own net.

Forsberg then hit the bar before finally sinking Hamburg with a net-busting strike 19 minutes from time.

Bremen host Bayern in the other semi-final on Wednesday evening, and the winner will meet Leipzig at the Olympic Stadium on May 25.
