Insecurity, according to former President Goodluck Jonathan, was his worst fear while in office from 2010 to 2015.
During the commissioning of a 22-kilometer road project in Taraba State on Friday, Jonathan made the revelation. Six pedestrian bridges and a flyover bridge are included in the dualized Yola-Wukari road, among other things.

The former president acknowledged Governor Darius Ishaku for a job well done and said that his worst nightmare as president of the nation was insecurity.
He claimed to have spent sleepless nights trying to find solutions and urged locals to coexist in harmony so that more development might prosper, noting that good road infrastructure is essential to any development.
Jonathan emphasised that security is in the hands of the people as he officially opened the road project and then the construction of a heavy-duty vehicles park on the outskirts of the state capital.
The former president also expressed satisfaction that Taraba was gradually returning to the “good old days” of peaceful coexistence and tolerance.
For his part, Ishaku said the road projects embarked upon by his administration was to link rural communities to the metropolis to explore the agricultural potentials of the state.
The inauguration comes less than two weeks to the inauguration of a new administration in Taraba State.
One of the key initiatives Ishaku undertook to leave a lasting impact was the inauguration of new infrastructure in the state.
In his statement, Ishaku claimed that by reviving the agricultural potentials of Taraba, his administration’s concentration on road development aims to promote economic growth, particularly in rural regions.
The governor took advantage of the chance to refute data that listed the state as one of the most indebted in the country.
