By President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that his administration is determined to tackle the ongoing challenges the country is currently facing.
The president gave this assurance, on Friday, in his New Year’s Broadcast, saying he would continue to listen to the voices of the Nigerian people.
“In the midst of all these challenges, I had initially pledged that as your elected President and Commander-in-Chief, I would ensure that these ongoing challenges will be faced head-on with renewed determination and with all the appropriateness and urgency required. Your voices have been heard and we would continue to listen to you, and all the key stakeholders who are committed to the unity of Nigeria to ensure that every region of this nation is safe for us all, while guaranteeing that the future is also secure for the coming generation,” he said.
Buhari also stated that his administration would continue to focus on its key strategic priorities: Security, Economy and Anti-Corruption Agenda.
On security, the president said there would be a reorganisation of the nation’s security apparatus in order to “enhance their capacity to engage, push back and dismantle the operations of both internal and external extremist and criminal groups waging war against our communities in some parts of the country.”
“Our focus is on revamping the economy through the national economic diversification agenda that supports the primary goal of national food self-sufficiency,” Buhari said about the economy.
The president also noted that there would be a collaboration with the Legislature to enact laws that would strengthen the fight against corruption, adding that some of the existing laws would be reviewed for effectiveness.
