President Muhammadu Buhari has said he has done his best to serve the country and hopes he will be remembered positively for his achievements while in office.
During his two-day visit to Katsina State, President Muhammadu Buhari made this statement and he also commended the state’s government for its developmental efforts and highlighted the importance of good economic relations with neighboring countries.
In a statement released by his spokesman, Femi Adesina, the president hopes that history will be kind to him and his administration after his tenure.
The Nigerian leader also commended the Katsina state government for its developmental efforts.
He said: “I have done my best, and I hope history will be kind to me. Governance or leadership, as I have emphasized on many occasions, is an enormous responsibility embodying trust and requiring sacrifice so that the community of people that entrusted a leader with that burden can, in both short and long terms, stand to benefit from the uprightness of the leadership.”
Buhari went on to talk about some of the things that his government had done well, such as improving infrastructure, education, and economic ties with countries nearby.
He also praised the state government for its transparency in the execution of its projects and its efforts to improve the education sector.
“I am happy with the infrastructural development efforts in Katsina State, particularly when one compares the recorded achievements with the position of the state as a rural state with a short history of a little over three decades of existence,” he said.
He added, “Education is a priority for my administration, and I am proud of the progress we have made in this area. We have invested in building new schools and training teachers, and we are seeing the results in improved test scores and graduation rates.
“Furthermore, we have also made efforts to improve our economic relations with neighboring countries. The Kano-Katsina-Maradi rail line is a prime example of this, as it was designed to increase trade and promote peace and harmony in the region.
“As my tenure comes to an end, I hope that my efforts to serve this country will be remembered positively and that history will be kind to me and my administration.”
