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.The lessons of the Eid are piety and sacrifice and, my dear brothers and sisters, you have exhibited these in equal measure.
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
