President Muhammadu Buhari, on
Tuesday said his administration would not disappoint Nigerians.
He said his government was doing
everything possible to ameliorate their hardship.
NAN reports that Buhari stated
this during an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Dutse as part of
activities of his two day working visit to Jigawa.
He said that he was aware of the
hardship faced by people as a result of the economic crunch and hike in prices
of essential commodities.
The President said that the
Federal Government had stopped the importation of rice to encourage local
production and empower farmers.
He thanked the government and
people of Jigawa for their warm reception and support to the administration.
In his remarks, Gov. Muhammad
Badaru of Jigawa State reminded the people that President Buhari had been doing
his best, adding that the economy of the country was in a mess when he (Buhari)
took over.
Badaru said as part of his
contribution, the state government would continue to embark on projects that
would impact positively on the lives of the people.
“Recently, we introduced social security
allowances of between N50,000 to N100,000 in all political wards to cater for
immediate problems of people before approaching the government for
intervention,” he said.
