Buhari promises to move Nigeria forward quickly

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigerians in the diaspora of his administration’s determination to move the country forward as quickly as possible.

The president was speaking in Washington DC to a group of Nigerians who have distinguished themselves in various professions in the USA.

They included Prof. Austin Esogbue, the only African to have served on the board of the United States’ National Aeronautical Space Agency (NASA); Jelani Aliyu, a leading car designer with General Motors; Prof. Nwadiuto Esiobu, a renowned Microbiologist and Biochemist; Dr. Yemi Badero, an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Muriel Oduwole, the 13-year-old prodigy who has interviewed 18 world leaders.

Buhari said his administration was fully committed to correcting the errors that have hindered Nigeria’s progress as a nation.

“We are determined to get things done properly this time and, God willing, we shall succeed,” he said.

“We are working diligently to correct our mistakes as a nation. We will rehabilitate and expand national infrastructure, and move forward as quickly as possible.”

The president promised to maintain contacts with Nigerian professionals in the diaspora and see how they contribute effectively to national development if they choose to come back home.

He congratulated the five eminent Nigerians for their exceptional accomplishments, saying that he was very proud of them all.
