Stop laying blames on the leaders alone - Buhari tells Nigerians

President Muhammadu Buhari has called on Nigerians to work towards making the country a better place for all.

Buhari spoke on Thursday at the graduation ceremony of senior course 40 of the command and staff college, Jaji, Kaduna state.

”In Nigeria, there is the tendency to lay the blame for the state of affairs in the country on the doorsteps of the leaders alone,” Buhari said.

“Yes, leaders have a major role to play in providing direction and the enabling environment. However, the citizens’ role also is vital in our attaining meaningful transformation of any society”

According to him, “On the issue of security, we recognize that security challenges abound in all countries of the world including Nigeria.

“I am certain, with the consistent efforts of our security agencies, these challenges shall be considerably mitigated and minimized.

“Let me call on the graduating officers to realize that the nation has made a lot of investment into your training.

“Likewise, the nation is expecting the best from you in terms of commitment to your duties and fatherland.”
