''We will make Nigeria live-able again for all our youths'' President Buhari
President Buhari has said that the sheer desperation that
makes Nigerian youths dare both the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea,
all in the bid to take up menial jobs in Europe, is hurting the pride of the
country and that his government will do everything it can to make Nigeria a
liveable place for young men and women.
President Buhari said this during a farewell audience with
the outgoing High Commissioner of the Republic of Namibia, His Excellency,
Peingeondjabi Shipoh.
With great potentials in Africa, President Buhari
decried illegal exodus to Europe, at grave risk to lives and limbs, and then
pledged: "We will do our best to make our country live-able again."
The outgoing High Commissioner, who spent four years and
eleven months in Nigeria, said the country had become second home for himself
and his family, submitting
"I enjoyed great support in carrying out my duties. I
return home with absolute satisfaction that our two countries are more than
ready for intra-African trade and exchange of state visits by the leaders. Our
two countries have a lot in common, and Africa can only be developed by
Africans themselves."
Mr Shipoh wished Nigeria successful general elections in
2019.
