Mr Buhari says the gains recorded in security will be further consolidated and more attention will be given to the economy, before handing over on 29 May.
President Muhammadu Buhari says the emergence of Boko Haram sect was fraudulent and a plot to destroy Nigeria.
“I am very grateful for your visit to the Presidential Villa, and I agree with you on some of the observations you have made. Mr Buhari told the Catholic Bishops that the government will continue rebuilding infrastructure in parts of the country affected by terrorist attacks while underscoring that terrorists had no control over any space in Nigeria.On the economy, the president said creditors had full confidence in Nigeria, with the capacity to utilise resources and repay loans before the approvals were granted.
“If you look at the economy, we are trying hard to rely more on ourselves. Nigerians rely more on agriculture for livelihood, and we are putting in our best to enable more people, and diversify,’’ the president noted. The president noted that he had been part of Nigeria’s history since 1967, fighting in the civil war, serving as governor, minister, Head of State, Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund, contesting presidential elections in 2003, 2007 and 2011, before winning in 2015.In his remarks, the leader of the delegation and President of the CBCN, Lucius Ugorji, commended the president for reforms in the electoral system, making it more stable and fair, particularly the signing of the Electoral Bill into law.
Mr Ugorji, a reverend, urged the president to use the remaining months in office as commander-in-chief to tackle insecurity in the country, and improve the economy.”Your tenure of two terms as President, Commander-In-Chief of Nigeria, is drawing to an end.
