President
Buhari has asked Nigerians to be patient with his administration following the
current economic challenges in the country.
On Thursday, July 21, 2016, the
minister of finance, Kemi Adeosun, admitted that the Nigeria’s economy is in
recession.
Buhari also assured Nigerians
that the current hardship will soon give way to development.
The President said this in
Osogbo, during his visit to Osun state today, Thursday, September 1, 2016.
Buhari said
” We promised Nigerian people positive and progressive change during our
campaign. We are not and shall not be deterred from that noble undertaking.
“But as we have learnt from history, change has never been attained by any
nation on a bed of roses, but rather, through patience, perseverance and
steadfastness.
“We are quite aware of the pains
and inconveniences that have been the lot of the citizenry in the past one year
as we strive to faithfully implement our programmes in fulfilment of our change
agenda.
“We are however comforted by the
real change and progress we have made in fighting corruption and restoring
integrity to government; providing security for lives and property; and positioning
the government for effectiveness and especially deregulating the oil sector.
“We must also not forget the
fiscal discipline that has now characterised government business at all levels.
This indeed is how it should be and we are determined to introduce and
implement actions and measures that will entrench the change mantra in our
individual lives just as we are doing in curtailing excessive waste and rent
seeking in governance.
