The President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari has given an insight into how the incoming administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) plans to deal with the many problems confronting the country when it assumes office on May 29.

While lamenting the downturn in the oil market and the continued loss of more than 400,000 barrels of crude oil daily through alleged official connivance, he said the new administration will turn attention to agriculture and solid mineral development as an alternative source of generating revenue for the country.
Buhari also spoke on the positive reaction of the international community to his victory at the polls, saying that even the United States President Barak Obama had expressed relief during a telephone conversation. “One of the relief I got was the telephone call I got from the President of the United States. I could feel the relief in their voices because they are people of conscience,” he said.
Buhari, who stated this when a delegation of Northern elders led by a former Nigeria’s permanent representative at the United Nations, Maitama Sule paid him a congratulatory visit in Abuja on Sunday, noted that the state of affairs with regard to the economy and other inherited problems demands a careful and gradual approach to be able to stabilize things.

“In the economy, we have to quickly turn to agriculture and mining because that is where you can do the quickest work and earn results. In other areas, you need to study them and dust all the books and studies and get people, experienced people, committed people and technocrats to come and help the government and identify priorities so that with what is available to us, we can quickly make our people realise their hope for the government they have chosen,” he said.

I have really been waiting for this news as to making agriculture and other non-oil sectors of the economy as vital and given much attention as that if the oil sector.


Only then can our economy be better for it. I just pray this declaration will also be honestly engineered into motion.


God Bless Nigeria

Was the Economy exported before now? Cos i think i was not privy. What a Funny headline.

The obvious is that Buhari knows that the presidency position was won on a platter of Gold and he won't fail Nigerians, he will obliterare whatever it is that GEJ achieved.

We are waiting . GEJ my HERO! FAYOSE my ROLE MODEL!!

Hallelujah! I was getting choked up with the "na our oyel"; "we will ruin the economy" "pay our criminals in the creek money for being criminals" rants.

Invest in minerals and maybe subsequent administration will look into science.

It's always a long and tortuous walk to greatness.

Dangote is already building a 400,000BPD refinery in Lagos. That is more(?) than the combined refining capacity of all the refineries in Nigeria and makes it the largest on the continent.

When we need to do is to fix the existing ones. So they wont keep wasting away
