The President, Muhammadu Buhari, on
Friday described the last 18 months as the most difficult period in Nigeria’s
history.
Buhari said this in his nationwide broadcast to Nigerians to
mark the nation’s 61st independence.
“The past 18 months have been some of the most difficult
periods in the history of Nigeria.
“Since the civil war, I doubt whether we have seen a period
of more heightened challenges than what we have witnessed in this period,” he
said.
He said his regime’s original priorities for 2020 were to
continue stabilising the economy following the deep recession, while restoring
peace in areas confronted with security challenges.
He said that the COVID-19 pandemic and its devastating
impact on all nations forced the regime to shift gears and re-strategise.
Buhari claimed that his regime is winning the war against
insecurity.
He said, “As our economy continues to open after the
COVID-19-related lockdowns; we have also seen the resurgence of insecurity in
certain parts of the country.
“In the last four months, the gallant men and women of the
military and security agencies have made tremendous progress in addressing
these new security challenges.
“We are taking the fight to our enemies from all angles and
we are winning.”
