We are feeling your pains, Buhari tells Nigerians

President Muhamamdu Buhari on Thursday assured Nigerians that
despite the various current challenges facing the country, Nigeria
would be great again under his watch.

Buhari gave the assurance while speaking with Muslim leaders in
Osun State shortly after joining them in theZuhr prayer
held inside the Government House after he inaugurated the N1.35bn
Osogbo Government High School.

The President led the prayers and he was joined by the Osun
State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola; Oyo State Governor, Abiola
Ajimobi; Borno State Governor, Kashim Shettima; and the Minister of
Communications, Wahab Shittu, among others.

Buhari urged the Muslim clerics to continue their intense
prayers for the country, saying things would be better.

He reiterated his commitment to ensuring the safety of lives and
property in the country.

He said, “I thank you for your prayers for the nation. God will
help us to secure Nigeria and efficiently manage it. Please
continue to pray for us. I can assure you that Nigeria will be
great again.”

Earlier while inaugurating the 72-classroom school, Buhari had
said with progressive governance system in place, it would only be
a matter of time before more would be done that would quicken the
pace of development in the country.

He said there should be substantial commitment of energy and
resources to education by all levels of government, adding that
that was how to renew the society and shape the future of the
children.

Buhari said although change could not come on a platter of gold,
his administration would do its best to deliver on the promise of
change.

He said, “We promised the Nigerian people positive and
progressive change during our campaign. We are not and shall not be
deterred from that noble undertaking.

“But as we have learnt from history, change has never been
attained by nation states on a bed of roses, but rather, through
patience, perseverance and steadfastness.

“We are quite aware of the pains and inconveniences that have
been the lot of the citizenry in the past one year as we strive to
faithfully implement our programmes in fulfilment of our change
agenda.

“We are, however, comforted by the real change and progress we
have made in fighting corruption and restoring integrity to
government; providing security for lives and property; and
positioning the government for effectiveness and especially
deregulating the oil sector.”

Buhari said he was determined to remain on track as his
administration strived to deliver the country from past mistakes in
fulfilment of its promise of improving the conditions of the people
and making Nigeria a prosperous country.

Aregbesola, while thanking the President for visiting the state
which is celebrating its 25th anniversary, said the people of the
state were comfortable with his style of leadership.

He lauded Buhari for bringing integrity and hard work to
governance.

Earlier, President Buhari had said he and members of his cabinet
were quite aware of the pains Nigerians were being made to go
through due to his administration’s resolve to implement the change
promised during electioneering.

He noted that this was being fulfilled in Osun State by the
dogged commitment of Aregbesola to educational development

The governor said the school was built with a
Sukuk  loan (Islamic loan) at the cost of N1.35bn,
adding that the cost was not reviewed upward despite the sharp drop
in the value of naira.

Aregbesola said the school was three-in-one, adding that it was
possible for the school’s structure to be removed from its present
site and taken to another place if there was a need for it due to
the technology employed in building the structure.
