In a statement the leader of the nation says that he is aware of all
challenges that Nigeria is currently facing, noting that these problems are only temporary.


Buhari once again promised Nigerians change in 2016, adding that
he wanted to be a leader who initiates positive and enduring
change.


Read Buhari’s congratulatory statement in full below:


“Fellow citizens,

“Welcome to the beginning of a New Year of the continuation
of CHANGE in our beloved nation.
“I am aware that Nigerians have experienced a number of
significant hardships over the past months. Living in the State
House has not alienated me from your daily sufferings. I am
aware of the lengthy queues at fuel stations and of the
difficulties businesses have faced in acquiring foreign
exchange. These challenges are only temporary; we are
working to make things better.


“When I presented myself to you as a presidential candidate
and asked you to vote for me, I wanted to be a leader who
keeps his promises. I wanted to be a leader who restores the
people’s hope in those elected to serve them. I wanted to be a
leader who initiates positive and enduring CHANGE.



“I am still totally committed to being that kind of leader.
Unforeseen circumstances and other distractions
notwithstanding, I shall still do my utmost best to keep every
promise I made to Nigerians during my election campaign.


“In the past seven months since our inauguration on May 29,
2015, my administration has focused on laying the right
foundation for the CHANGE you voted for during our historic
presidential election.


“Nigerians will in due course begin to enjoy the fruits of all our
ongoing work. The effective and efficient implementation of our
2016 budget proposals will address many of the socio-
economic issues that are of current concern to our people.


“One area in which Nigerians, especially those in the northeast,
have already begun to experience major CHANGE is in the war
on terror.


“I commend our Armed Forces for significantly curtailing the
insurgency which has ravaged the northeast of Nigeria over the
past few years.
“However, there is still a lot of work to be done in the area of
security.


“Our Armed Forces will maintain, consolidate and build on their
successes in the war against Boko Haram and violent
extremism.
This government will not consider the matter concluded until
the terrorists have been completely routed and normalcy
restored to all parts of the country that have been adversely
affected by the Boko Haram insurgency.


“Our crackdown on corruption will continue to be vigorously
undertaken. I urge the courts to support our efforts and help in
the recovery of stolen funds by speedily concluding trials and
showing that impunity no longer has a place in our country.


“There is much work to do in other areas as well and I have
charged all my ministers and other appointees to ensure that
Nigerians experience positive changes in their lives in 2016.


“We must reduce our country’s reliance on oil. We must
diversify our economy. And we must do all we can to promote
job creation.
Our challenges are many but our determination to succeed is
strong and unshaken.”
