President Muhammadu Buhari has said that his administration remains focused on fulfilling its election promises made in 2015.
He said, “From the very time we came until now, we have been able to do our best, and we remain focused on delivering on our promises,”.
The president while receiving a delegation from King Salman of Saudi Arabia on Thursday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the nation’s capital, disclosed this through his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
He told the Saudi Arabian delegation that the priority of his administration had so far been on securing the country, buoying the economy and curbing corruption so that Nigerians would start benefiting from the rich natural and human resources of the country.
On security, the president said that Nigerians living in the insurgency-prone areas are in the best position to provide a correct assessment of the changes made so far since his assumption in office.
The president commended the King Salman Aid and Relief Centre, and the Saudi Development Fund for providing relief materials, worth 10 million dollars, to internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the North East.
In his remarks, the Minister of Defence, Mohammed Dan-Ali said the delegation from Saudi Arabia had already visited the Ministry of Defence, Defence Headquarters and taken a tour of IDP camps in Maiduguri as part of their schedule.
Leader of the Saudi Arabian delegation from King Salman, Nasser Bin Mutlaq, said the visit and the donation of materials was an extension of the good relations both countries had shared over the years.
“We are directed to offer materials and food for the displaced persons in the North East worth 10 million dollars. We have had a field visit to the places and seen the humanitarian situation ourselves,’’ he added.
