The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, has hailed the global endorsement
which President Muhammadu Buhari received
from world leaders during his recent trip to the
US for the 71st session of the UN General
Assembly, and appealed to Nigerians to continue
to support the President.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday and
signed by the SA to the Minister, Segun Adeyemi,
Lai said it was
particularly delightful to hear from world leaders
that President Buhari’s determined and
committed leadership as well as his integrity have
given Nigeria a positive image in the comity of
nations.
He said the global community’s appreciation of
the giant strides that have been made by
President Buhari’s Administration in fighting
terrorism and corruption, as well as in deftly
managing the nation’s economy at a time of
global economic downturn, is an indication that
the Administration is on course in its quest to
ensure a better life for the people.
”These three areas (economy, security and the
fight against corruption) are the priorities of the
Buhari’s Administration, and its efforts have not
gone unnoticed globally, despite the attempts by
naysayers to pull the wool over the eyes of
Nigerians. World leaders including US President
Barrack Obama, UN Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon, French President Francois Hollande and
Switzerland’s President Johann Schneider-
Ammann all took turns to extol President Buhari’s
leadership.
”This should be a source of hope and pride to
Nigerians, who have borne the brunt of the
difficulties associated with the current economic
downturn as well as the country’s negative global
image in the past. While thanking Nigerians for
their perseverance, there is no doubt that by
continuing to give their unalloyed support to the
President, they will be ensuring that these tough
times will not last,” Alhaji Mohammed said.
He said the fact that the President was able to
highlight and seek a global rallying point on
critical issues issues during his trip will have a
positive effect on the country.
”The President sent ‘a clear and direct message’
to world leaders on such issues as poverty,
climate change, terrorism, plight of IDPs arising
from Boko Haram activities, diversification of the
economy and the creation of enabling
environment for Foreign Direct Investment in
Nigeria.
”The timing of the President’s message and the
platform in which he highlighted those issues
could not have been more apt, and this will
undoubtedly complement the Administration’s
efforts at tackling those key issues,” the Minister
said.
He also expressed the optimism that the country
will soon begin to reap the benefits of the US-
Africa Business Forum and the meeting with top
Nigerians professionals, which took place on the
sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
