President
Buhari has appealed to Nigerians yet to feel the impacts of his Administration
to please be patient.
President Buhari made the appeal at a town hall meeting with the traditional rulers, youths, students, organised labour, market women and other stakeholders on the #EndSARS protest and its aftermath in Ilorin, Kwara state today November 6.
Represented
at the town hall meeting by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai
Mohammed, President Buhari said his administration has the interest of the
youths and the people in general at heart and has been doing a lot to touch
their lives. The president said the government is constraint by the dwindling
resources occasioned by the impact of COVID 19 which also affected the global
economy.
“If we have
not done enough or we have not touch everybody, we appeal that you please bear
with us. In the first instance, what we have is less than 60 per cent of the
revenue that was available to other governments that came before us. We all
know what we suffered during COVID 19, and as we are just trying to recover
from this we also face another crisis. We appeal that you should please assist
the government and be patient.
This
government is dedicated to serving the people and we will continue to try our
best to do so. I thank you all for your perseverance, understanding and
patience'' he said.
According to
President Buhari, his administration has many programmes lined up to help in
alleviating poverty among women and vulnerable groups as well as creating jobs
for the teeming youths.
