No Single Government Can Solve Nigeria’s Problems – Buhari 

Mr President, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, spoke yesterday at the State of the Nation Dialogue

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that no single government can solve the mirage of problems confronting Nigeria, noting that it will take the combined efforts of successive governments to achieve.

Mr President, who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, spoke yesterday at the State of the Nation Dialogue with a theme, Security, Economy and Administration of Justice, organized by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

Mr. President reminded lawyers that they have a responsibility towards the smooth running of the country.

“This is the direction to go. I want to thank you for restoring the hope of Nigerians. I want to believe the Bar would provide the necessary leadership. I hope that in the course of the discussion, we would be able to bring out a playbook that would provide the guided processes for the incoming regime.

“I will say that no one government in this country would be able to solve the problems of Nigeria. But as we build on the precedent set by successive governments, not discarding completely what has been put in place, we would in the course of our desire to build a Nigeria of our dreams, be able to pick one or two things on which we can concentrate and move.

“As a government, the outcome of this dialogue can be transmitted to us so that whatever resolutions are reached will become part of the documents that we will prepare as we transit and hand over to an incoming government.”

Also speaking at the forum was the Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu, who believed that fixing primary education in the country is one sure way of addressing security challenges in the country.

The President, of NBA, Yakubu Maikyau (SAN) in his remarks, expressed the need to continuously engage government at all levels in order to generate discussions that will provide Nigerians with sufficient information to guide them in making their choice of persons to occupy elective offices in the upcoming general elections.
