President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians that in the next four years his government will focus on improving the lives of people and in the next ten years 100 million of Nigerians would
have been out of poverty.
Buhari revealed
this in his opening speech during the inaugural June 12 Democracy Day
celebration in Abuja on Wednesday.
He added that despite the positive growth in the economy,
his administration is mapping out policies to ensure that the country’s GDP
grows by 2.7 per cent in 2019.
In face of these challenges, our Government elected by
the people in 2015 and re-elected in March has been mapping out policies,
measures and laws to maintain our unity and at the same time lift the bulk of
our people out of poverty and onto the road to prosperity.
With leadership and a sense of purpose, we can lift 100
million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years.
We now have witnessed 8 quarters of positive growth in
the economy and our GDP is expected to grow by 2.7 per cent this year.
President Buhari assured that the next four years will
focus on improving the lives of people.
For the next four years, we will remain committed to
improving the lives of people by consolidating efforts to address these key
issues as well as emerging challenges of climate change, resettling displaced
communities and dealing decisively with the new flashes of insecurity across
the country, and the impacts on food scarcity and regional stability.
