In his address to the nationthis morning, President Muhammdu Buhari said he was aware that things were difficult at the moment. He assured the people that his government was working hard to make things right.
“You know that I am trying to do the right things for our country,” he said.
As Nigeria celebrates her 56 years Independence Day anniversary, a number of people have been congratulating and praying for their motherland.
Despite it all.Nigeria can still turn this ship around and be greater than Dubai.
