President
Muhammadu Buhari has assured that his administration will be taking more
pragmatic actions in the next few months to improve the nation’s economy and
boost the living condition of Nigerians.
Speaking at the 8th
Annual Bola Tinubu Colloquium held at the International Conference Centre, ICC,
in Abuja, the President said it is the desire of his government to invest
heavily in human capital development so as to reduce the high level poverty in
the country.
“In the coming months,
Nigerians will see much more actions. Government will continue to invest
substantially in human capital development and this is just the beginning,” he
said.
The President
continued that, “We are going to hold ourselves accountable. We will measure
results. There will always be some skepticism, some have even become
disorientated and impatient enough to think that barriers are insurmountable.
Anyone who claim great change is impossible can only look as an ordinary
success.”
Despite the odds, he
said that there are incredible examples of entrepreneurs who have set up
processing factories, green house farming , stressing that “We can achieve more
with partnership that link up and scale up our respective efforts.
“I am declaring that
we need a new approach that challenges more states and local governments, more
organisations, companies and non-governmental organisations and individuals,
some of the younger people who are here to step up and play a role because
government cannot and should not do it alone. All hands should be on deck,” he
added
