Read President Buhari’s Eid-El-Kabir Message To Nigerians

Fellow Compatriots, as you celebrate the Eid-
El-Kabir, I salute your steadfastness in spite
of the difficult economic times the country is
going through.
The lessons of the Eid are piety and sacrifice
and, my dear brothers and sisters, you have
exhibited these in equal measure.
The present recession is as a result of
cumulative effects of worldwide economic
downturn and failure in the past to plan and
save for difficult times. It is impossible to
separate the present from the past to
appreciate the extent to which mistakes of
the past are affecting everyday life today..
I assure you that this administration is
working round the clock to remove the
hardships the country is going through. Rail
and road constructions, projects in the
housing sector, support for farmers and for
small and medium scale industries, youth
and women’s empowerment programmes,
support for revival of industries are all
designed to reinvigorate the economy and
enhance living standards of ordinary people.
We are getting security right. We are
stopping corruption in its tracks and we will
get the economy right by the Grace of God.
I enjoin Muslims to live by the dictates of
Islam, to keep good relationships with their
Christian brothers and sisters and as
patriots to maintain the spirit of the
Nigerian nation.
I wish everyone happy holidays.
Muhammadu Buhari
