Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has said no single government can solve the African most populous nation’s problems.
The President spoke at a state-of-nation dialogue on security, economy and administration of justice in Abuja organised by the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).
Buhari whose tenure ends in a few months said the efforts of successive government is required to resolve Nigeria’s challenges.
“I would say no one government in Nigeria can solve the country’s problems,” he said.
“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,” Buhari added.
The President who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, at the dialogue, reminded lawyers that they owed the nation some responsibilities.
Nigeria’s problems have been blamed on past governments since the return to democracy in 1999.
