President Muhammadu Buhari has acknowledged that
Nigerians are suffering with assurance that his
administration would resolve towards providing a lasting
solution to the country's challenges.
In his State of the Nation address to mark Nigeria's 56th
Independence Anniversary on Saturday, Buhari stressed
that there were solutions to the current woes and his
government was pursuing them in earnest.
Commending Nigerians for their patience, steadfastness
and perseverance, the President said, "You know that I
am trying to do the right things for our country."
Speaking further, he said, "The recession for many
individuals and families is real. For some It means not
being able to pay school fees, for others it's not being
able to afford the high cost of food (rice and millet) or
the high cost of local or international travel, and for
many of our young people the recession means
joblessness, sometimes after graduating from university
or polytechnic."
He also acknowledged the fact that Nigerians are going
through rough times due to the current economic
situation.
"All my adult life I have always earned a salary and I
know what it is like when your salary simply is not
enough. In every part of our nation people are making
incredible sacrifices," he said.
