Former President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that Nigeria’s economy and security situation improved significantly under his administration compared to what he met in 2015.
Buhari made the remarks on Wednesday while receiving members of the Katsina State Correspondents’ Chapel at his country home in Daura, Katsina State.
Reflecting on his tenure, the former president said his 8-year, government successfully tackled economic and security challenges inherited from the previous administration. He credited his administration’s policies and strategies for curbing terrorism and economic hardship.
He explained that the revolving security and economic strategies initiated and implemented by his government successfully tackled the economic and security woes he inherited from his predecessors.
Buhari, who spoke in Hausa, said: “Security and economy improved significantly in Nigeria under my administration compared to what we met in 2015. Things will continue to improve in Nigeria.”
According to Arise News, the former President explained that only Nigerians in the corridor of power would understand the administrative challenges confronting the country, adding leaders always faced bottlenecks in implementing policies and programmes.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Correspondents’ Chapel, Yusuf Ibrahim-Jargaba, lauded the former president’s efforts in tackling terrorism, banditry and other security challenges during his tenure.
Ibrahim-Jargaba added that Buhari’s hard work, dedication and selfless service made the country to remain indivisible.
