Muhammadu Buhari has said that the economy and security improved significantly under him as president for eight years.
He said this when members of the Katsina State Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists visited him.
During the visit at his country home in Daura, Katsina State on Wednesday, Buhari recalled that before his administration, challenges of security and economy were rocking the country, adding that his administration significantly curbed the menace of terrorism and economic meltdown in the country.
He further explained that the revolving security and economic strategies initiated and implemented by his government successfully tackled the economic and security woes he inherited from his predecessors.
According to Buhari, only Nigerians in the corridor of power would understand the administrative challenges confronting the country, stressing that the nation’s leaders always faced bottlenecks in implementing policies and programmes.
