President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday took stock of his performance
for the past 10 months at the helm and concluded that he has effectively
charted the course to tackle the myriad of problems bedevilling the
nation.
Addressing members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, he cited the following:
Addressing members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) at the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, he cited the following:
(1) The significant progress recorded in ensuring
the security of lives and property particularly in the troubled
North-East geo-political zone as a milestone recorded during the period.
(2) Resolve to implement the Treasury Single Account (TSA) which has put N3 trillion in government kitty as a key dividend of his drive to block leakages in the polity, stated that the N3 trillion would surely come handy in the implementation of this year’s N6.07 trillion worth budget.
(3) On the economy, "the fall of oil prices after Nigeria has made itself a mono-economy is a disaster. I wonder why people could not believe that in Nigeria, about 27 of 36 states have difficulty in paying basic salaries of their workers.

If from 1999 to at least 2003, oil is above $100 per barrel and
an export of about two million barrels per day, how come Nigeria failed
to make some arrangement to cushion the effect of a probably volatile
oil market?”
(4) The fight against corruption: "the gains
are clear, the era of impunity is beginning to disappear from our land.
Even from reading the papers, social media, critical as they may be,
virtually every Nigerian today now accepts that corruption was perhaps,
the worst affliction that this nation has ever suffered from. And of
course, finally, the cost of governance is down. So, even with the lean
resources, it is clear that all over the nation, from the federal level
to the state level, we will be able to do more with less.”
