President Muhammadu Buhari has said today that the situation in the
country makes it appear as though Nigeria is starting all over again.
Speaking while he recieved Nasser Bourita, a special envoy of King
Mohammed VI of Morocco, at the presidential villa, Abuja today,
President Muhammadu Buhari disclosed that the situation in the country
makes it appear as though Nigeria is starting all over again.
The presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, quoted Buhari as saying,
“For us in Nigeria, it is like starting all over again. There was a
time we had so much money and took things for granted. But with the fall
in the international price of oil, we are now managing,” he said.
The president who said there was a time in the history of the
country when there was so much money but successive governments took
things for granted, added that he was in a hurry to see projects take
off in the agricultural sector to enhance food security and create jobs
for teeming unemployed youths.
He welcomed the plan by Morocco to establish a fertilizer plant in
Nigeria, which would not only serve the country, but the entire West
African sub-region as well as developing strategy to deal with religious
extremism.
