He was a key figure in the macro-economic high scores attained by the Obasanjo administration.<\/p>\n<p>During the gubernatorial campaigns, Soludo acknowledged that all the major economic roads within the state has collpased and must be rehabilitated, whether abandoned or half-executed by his predecessors.
