President Muhammadu Buhari
on Monday admitted that Nigeria has been turbulent since he came on board in
2015. The president made this comment while inaugurating the Food Security
Council chaired by him.
Excerpts From Buhari's
Speech At The FSC Inauguration...
“Two weeks ago, I announced
my intention to establish and chair a presidential level committee that focuses
on food security, I am happy that today it has become a reality. Nigeria’s
journey in the last three (3) years, has been a very turbulent one. The country’s
need for critical job creating sectors which has been ignored for decades is
now beginning to yield results.
We introduced the National
Social Investment Programmes targeting millions of Nigerians who are living
from hand to mouth. We launched agricultural programmes focusing on import
substitution, job creation and rural development thereby bringing
socio-economic transformation to the millions of citizens living in some of the
most remote rural parts of our country... These programmes and many more, have
started yielding results and if sustained, will transform the lives of millions
of Nigerians across the country.
We are well aware that the
full results will not be felt or seen overnight. The journey is long. It is
therefore our collective duty to ensure the actual and potential positive
impacts of these programmes are sustained, improved and expanded.
