Former President Muhammadu Buhari has praised the handling of the economy and security during his administration between 2015 and 2023.
The former Nigerian leader stated that Nigeria’s economy and security improved significantly during his eight-year tenure. Buhari made these remarks on Wednesday while receiving members of the Katsina State Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists at his country home in Daura, Katsina State.
The former President recalled the security and economic challenges his administration inherited from the previous People’s Democratic Party (PDP)-led government. However, he said that his government’s strategies successfully tackled these challenges, curbing terrorism and economic hardship.
Buhari stated, “Nigeria’s security and economy improved significantly under my administration compared to what we met in 2015. Things will continue to improve in Nigeria.”
He also acknowledged the administrative challenges facing the country, noting that only those in positions of power truly understand these obstacles.
The former President’s comments were preceded by praise from the Chairman of the Correspondents’ Chapel, Yusuf Ibrahim-Jargaba, who lauded Buhari’s efforts in tackling terrorism, banditry, and other security challenges during his tenure. Ibrahim-Jargaba also commended Buhari’s hard work, dedication, and selfless service, which he believes helped maintain the country’s unity.
