Muhammadu Buhari, former president of Nigeria, says
President Bola Tinubu has done well given the prevailing circumstances.
Tinubu has unfurled a slew of economic reforms since he took
over the reins of leadership from Buhari on May 29, 2023.
Some of the president’s policies — notably the removal of
subsidy on petrol and the unification of the exchange rate windows — have led
to galloping inflation and economic hardship.
Protesters and organised labour have taken to streets across
the country in recent weeks to rail against the worsening economic hardship and
the naira’s depreciation.
Speaking on Sunday when he received the comptroller-general
and members of the management team of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) in
Daura, Katsina state, Buhari said governing Nigeria is a tough job for anyone.
He asked Nigerians to endure the economic hardship in the
country and support the policies and programmes of the current administration.
“I thank you very much for coming. I very much appreciate
it. I thought Tinubu has done very well,” Buhari said.
“Nigeria is so
complex. Really, there isn’t much anybody can do.”
On his part, Bashir Adeniyi, comptroller-general of customs,
commended the former president for “transforming the NCS” during his stint in
office.
Adeniyi said the service would continue to ensure that the
country’s borders are secured in order to enhance Nigeria’s economy.
