While jetting off to Washington for nuclear security summit Buhari says Nigerians will see him in action very soon!

President Muhammadu Buhari will leave Abuja for Washington DC tomorrow, Wednesday, to join President Barack Obama and about 60 other world leaders and heads of international organisations at the 4th Nuclear Security Summit which opens there on Thursday, presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, has said. 

Mr. Adesina said in a statement that at plenary sessions of the summit, which is dedicated to reinforcing international commitment to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, President Buhari will insist that while Nigeria will continue to sustain that commitment, world powers must respect the right of other countries to the peaceful use of nuclear energy for development purposes. 

President Muhammadu Buhari assured Nigerians that his administration would take decisive steps to cushion the suffering of Nigerians in the days ahead. Speaking in Abuja at the 8th Annual Bola Tinubu Colloquium: “Agriculture: Action, Work, Revolution”, Mr. Buhari, who has faced growing criticisms lately, said in the coming months Nigerians would see actions taken by the 10-month old administration to address the multifarious challenges facing the nation. The event, which Mr. Buhari chaired, was organized to mark the 64 birthday of a national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu. “In the coming months, Nigerians will see much more actions,” the president said. “Government will continue to invest substantially in human capital development and this is just the beginning. “We are going to hold ourselves accountable. We will measure results. There will always be some skepticism, some have even become disorientated and impatient enough to think that barriers are insurmountable. Anyone who claims great change is impossible can only look as an ordinary success.” Mr. Buhari demanded the cooperation of Nigerians in the task of governance, saying “We can achieve more with partnership that link up and scale up our respective efforts”.

“I am declaring that we need a new approach that challenges more states and local governments, more organisation, companies and non-governmental organisations and individuals, some of the younger people who are here to step up and play a role because government cannot and should not do it alone. All hands should be on deck,”Mr. Buhari said.
