The signing of the Electoral Act 2021 as amended with landmark provisions further assures us of a more transparent and inclusive Electoral Process.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving witnessed at close quarters, the pains, anguish and disappointment of being a victim of an unfair electoral process, the pursuit of an electoral system and processes that guarantee election of leaders by citizens remains the guiding light as I prepare to wind down our administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou would all agree that the recent elections in the past two years in some states (notably Anambra, Ekiti and Osun) and a few federal constituencies have shown a high degree of credibility, transparency and freedom of choice with the people\u2019s votes actually counting. This I promise would be improved upon as we move towards the 2023 General Elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we begin the transition process to another democratically elected government, I want to implore all aspirants to conduct issues-based campaigns devoid of hate speeches as well as other negative and divisive tendencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI also want to express my wish that we see more female and youth participation in the forth-coming electoral cycle. I am sure that our teeming and energetic youths now realise that violence generally mar elections and so should desist from being used by politicians for this purpose.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReforms in the public sector are already yielding results especially in the delivery of services. On this note, I urge the general public to demand for citizen-centred services from the relevant authorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Continuing he said, \u201cFellow Nigerians, I address you today, with a deep sense of gratitude to God and a high level of appreciation to all Nigerians whose tremendous goodwill gave me the opportunity to provide leadership for our great country at one of the trying times in her history.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConscious that today\u2019s address would be my last on an Independence Day as your President; I speak to the millions of Nigerians, who believed in me, propelled and stood by me in my quest to bequeath a country where all citizens have equal opportunities to achieve their lives desires in a peaceful atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am honoured to say that my story in the annals of Nigeria\u2019s history is no household secret. My various attempts, failures and eventual success in being elected as a Democratic President in 2015 was made possible by the majority of Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you elected me, I readily acknowledged that the tasks before me were daunting but surmountable because of the growing national consensus that our chosen route to national development was democracy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis democracy was to be anchored on a clear understanding, application and the principles of separation of powers supported by a reformed public service that is more effective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI then pledged to Improve the Economy, Tackle Corruption and Fight Insecurity and this was further strengthened by my commitment to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in ten years as the central plank of my second term in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo the Glory of God and His Grace as well as the commitment and passion displayed by many Nigerian supporters, we have made appreciable progress in these areas but not yet at our destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMindful of the task before us, we took some time in settling down and we re-positioned the Economy by providing strategic interventions in core areas at both the Federal and Sub-National levels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the areas where we have made significant progress is in the eradication of deeply entrenched corruption that permeates all facets of our national development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe strengthened the Institutions for tackling corruption and also cultivated international support, which aided the repatriation of huge sums of money illegally kept outside the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe increasing number of prosecutions and convictions, with associated refunds of large sums of money is still ongoing. Furthermore, we would continue to block opportunities that encourage corrupt practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn order to address Insecurity, we worked methodically in reducing Insurgency in the North East, Militancy in the Niger Delta, Ethnic and Religious Tensions in some sections of Nigeria along with other problems threatening our country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur efforts in re-setting the economy manifested in Nigeria exiting two economic recessions by the very practical and realistic monetary and fiscal measures to ensure effective public financial management. In addition, the effective implementation of the Treasury Single Account and cutting down on the cost of governance also facilitated early exits from recessions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFellow Nigerians, this administration removed several decades uncertainty for potential Investors in the Oil &amp; Gas sector with the passage of the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021. This landmark legislation created opportunities for foreign investments in addition to improving transparency in the management of the sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur administration has given the desired priority to the Agricultural Sector through a series of incentives to Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises that resulted in creating millions of jobs. Leading this initiative, the Central Bank of Nigeria\u2019s intervention in a number of areas as well as the Anchor Borrowers Programme had created the required leverages for Nigerians towards self-sufficiency in food and the necessary attraction for farming as a business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe growing contribution of non-oil exports, especially in agriculture, information and communication technology as well as the performing arts to our national economy will enhance our foreign exchange earning capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are confronting current economic challenges such as debt burden, growing inflation, living standards and increasing unemployment accentuated by our growing youthful population. These problems are globally induced and we would continue to ensure that their negative effects are addressed in our policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration will continue to ensure that our fiscal policies are supported by a robust and contemporary monetary policy that recognises our peculiarities in the midst of the growing global economic difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is evidenced by the recent Monetary Policy Committee decision to maintain all parameters, especially interest rates and marginally increased the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) from 14% to 15.5% and the Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) from 27.5% to 32.5%. It is projected that this would further insulate our economy from over exposure to uncertainties at the international market by restraining growth in core inflation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we continue to de-escalate the security challenges that confronted us at inception of this administration, newer forms alien to our country began to manifest especially in the areas of kidnappings, molestations\/killings of innocent citizens, banditry, all of which are being addressed by our security forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the inception of this administration in 2015, I provided the funding requirements of the security agencies which was also improved in my second tenure in 2019 to enable them to surmount security challenges. We will continue on this path until our efforts yield the desired results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we put in place all measures to ensure that Nigeria takes her place in the Comity of Nations, we recognize the importance of a well-educated populace as a panacea to most of the challenges we face.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have, therefore, pursued policies and implemented programmes designed to create a literate and proficient society that ensures that citizens are availed with opportunities for life-long achievements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI must confess that I am very pained by the recurring disruption to our tertiary education system and I am using this Independence Day celebration to re-iterate my call for the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to return to the classroom while assuring them to deal with their contending issues within the limits of the scarce resources available. This administration has made appreciable progress in redressing these issues that have been lingering for over eleven years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal Government will continue to mobilize resources both internationally and nationally towards funding education to ensure that our citizens are well educated and skilled in various vocations in view of the fact that education is a leading determinant of economic growth and employment generation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFellow Nigerians, we have also improved our health facilities, especially during and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which attracted commendation of the global community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs you are aware, Nigeria was one of the countries that defied global predictions of the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic because of our resilience, commitment and passion with which we individually and collectively managed the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis administration embarked on addressing critical ecological challenges across the country in order to mitigate the impact of Climate Change manifesting in the form of flood, soil erosion, desertification, air pollution amongst others<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will continue to ensure that our infrastructure drive remains the key to Nigeria\u2019s economic growth and for which every Nigerian will feel the impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Federal Government is already expanding ports operations to ensure that they provide opportunities for the growth of the Nigerian economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have also continued to accelerate our infrastructure development through serviceable and transparent borrowing, improved capital inflow &amp; increased revenue generation by expanding the tax bases and prudent management of investment proceeds in the Sovereign Wealth Fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo further open up our communities to economic activities, we have continued to boost our railway infrastructure with the completion of a good number of critical railways and at the same time rehabilitating as well as upgrading obsolete equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am pleased to inform my fellow citizens that besides our emphasis on infrastructural development with its attendant opportunities for job creation, employment generation and subsequent poverty reduction, our focussed intervention directly to Nigerians through the National Social Investment Programme is also yielding benefits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is hardly any ward, village or local government in Nigeria today that has not benefited from one of the following: N-Power, trader-moni, market moni, subsidized loans, business grants or Conditional Cash Transfers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the aforementioned programmes along with various interventions by the National Social Investment programme, direct support to victims of flooding and other forms of disasters have provided succor to the affected Nigerians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the international front, we have continued to take advantage of our bilateral and multilateral platforms to explore cooperation with friendly countries and partners whenever these areas of cooperation are to the advantage of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFellow Nigerians, in the past few years we have witnessed and overcome a good number of challenges that would ordinarily have destroyed our Nation. However, the indefatigable spirit of the Nigerian people has ensured that we overcome our challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is in this spirit that I call on all of us to individually and collectively bring to the fore in dealing with all our development issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was called to serve, along with my team, I saw an opportunity to create a better Nigeria which we have done with the support of Nigerians. Almighty God and the good people of Nigeria supported us in laying a solid foundation for the Nigeria of our dreams.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jb_0 X_6MGW N_6Fd5\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"H_7jIs D_F ab_C Q_69H5 E_36RhU\" data-test-id=\"toolbar-hover-area\">\n<div class=\"D_F W_6D6F r_BN gl_C\" data-test-id=\"card-toolbar\">\n<div class=\"D_F ab_C en_0 b_Z14vXdP e_3mS2U I_ZkbNhI P_Z1otBpf\">\n<ul class=\"hd_n P_0 H_6D6F M_0 ir3_0 iy_h D_F ab_C\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"menubar\" data-test-id=\"navigable-list\">\n<li class=\"G_e p_R\" role=\"menuitem\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"G_e p_R\" role=\"menuitem\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"G_e p_R\" role=\"menuitem\"><\/li>\n<li class=\"G_e p_R\" role=\"menuitem\"><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"M_0 P_0 cn_0\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Muhammadu Buhari has said that he is pained by the continuous disruptions in tertiary education system in the country.
