Nigeria was not like this, economy, security improved significantly during my tenure

Former President Muhammadu Buhari says Nigeria’s economy and security improved significantly during his tenure.

Buhari, who led Nigeria from 2015 to 2023 under the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated this on Wednesday while receiving members of the Katsina State Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) at his country home in Daura.

Buhari recalled that he inherited an economy in crisis and a country grappling with severe security challenges which included widespread terrorist activities. He added that the economy had however improved significantly by the time he was leaving office in 2023 while the nation was in a better state than when he assumed leadership.

He expressed confidence in the progress made under his administration and believes that Nigeria will continue on a path of improvement. “Nigeria’s security and economy improved significantly under my administration compared to what we met in 2015″, he said

Buhari officially handed over to his successor, President Bola Tinubu of the APC, on May 29, 2023.
