President Muhammadu Buhari says he has done his best in solving Nigeria’s many problems since his administration came into office in May 2015.
According to a press statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, President Buhari made the declaration in Washington while welcoming the Secretary General of the Abu Dhabi Forum, Sheik Al-Mahfoudh Bin-Bayyah and his deputy, Pastor Bob Roberts, of the United States.
Buhari, in the press statement, titled: ‘President Buhari to receive the award on peace and security’, said the youth must be the focus, while admitting that the country is presently facing many challenges.
He also said there is a need to raise generations of youths devoid of religious extremism and bigotry, urging the group to continue to target the young people who are the promise of the future.
Bin-Bayyah said they had come to inform the President, and to invite him to attend the conferment upon him, the Abu Dhabi Foundation’s award in recognition of his outstanding achievements in promoting peace and security.
He said the conferment was in line with the Foundation’s work in fighting religious extremism and promoting peaceful coexistence and dialogue amongst all religions.
