President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected the criticism that his handling of the economy led the country into a recession.
Speaking at the State House,in Abuja during a meeting with the Senior Executive Course No 38 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, (NIPSS), he said that it was not his administration that led the country into recession.
The president said: “In the last one and half years of this administration, the economy has experienced some tough times, particularly with the decline in oil revenues, which has some harsh impacts on Nigerians at the grassroots.
“It is also important to note that the economic recession is not the making of this administration, but rather a consequence of bad management of the economy in the past couple of decades. Nor is recession limited to Nigeria; there are far, far worse cases than Nigeria.”
The president, however, said that no matter the scale of the problem facing the country, the important thing was how to tackle it.
He said his administration was committed to finding lasting solutions to the nation’s economic structural imbalance.
“Let us have faith in our great nation that we will come out of this recession vibrant and strong,” he added.
The president said it was impossible for his administration to ignore the poor who made great sacrifice to bring him to government.
He said: “Ours more than any other government in the history of Nigeria is a people’s government. We therefore must and we will keep faith with the people.”

It’s true late president Jonathan didn’t hand over properly to buhari with so many problems on ground that was covered up. Everything surfaced wen buhari came in. But still, he buhari should be able to guide this country to winning ways. Although it’s true it’s gonna take time, but for me it’s already taking too long. B4, they said drinking garri iz for d poor. Now the rich are drinking garri n d poor can no longer afford the (sokiss) 1 rubber of garri is @ #900
