President Muhammadu Buhari has again assured Nigerians that the country will be prosperous again.
He urged the citizenry to be hopeful but cautioned that change, which his administration symbolises, is not a bed of roses.
The Federal Government, he said, is committed to the implementation of the positive agenda he promised Nigerians.
Although he did not directly address the
recession into which the nation’s economy has sunk into, his speech in
Osogbo, the Osun State capital, during his one day official visit, is
believed to be a veiled reference to it.
The President inaugurated the
3,000-capacity Osogbo High School, as part of activities to mark the
25th anniversary of the state’s creation.
Buhari, who was received at the Ibadan
Airport by Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola, Oyo State Governor
Abiola Ajimobi, his deputy Chief Alake Adeyemo and All Progressives
Congress (APC) chieftain Chief Bisi Akande, among others, arrived at the
Osogbo Government High School, premises at about 11.10 am. He had
earlier inaugurated the Ataoja High School also in Osogbo.
The President said: ”Changes are never
achieved on the bed of roses but through steadfastness, dedication,
integrity, the country shall be rescued and be prosperous again.
“What we are trying to do since is to
introduce all ingredients in the change mantra on the individual levels
but change takes perseverance, endurance, dedication to achieve.
