Fellow Compatriots, as you celebrate the Eid-El-
Kabir, I salute your steadfastness in spite of the
difficult economic times the country is going
through.
The lessons of the Eid are piety and sacrifice ,
my dear brothers and sisters, you have exhibited
these in equal measure.
The present recession is as a result of cumulative
effects of worldwide economic downturn and failure
in the past to plan and save for difficult times. It is
impossible to separate the present from the past to
appreciate the extent to which mistakes of the past
are affecting everyday life today..
I assure you that this administration is working
round the clock to remove the hardships the
country is going through. Rail and road
constructions, projects in the housing sector,
support for farmers and for small and medium
scale industries, youth and women's empowerment
programmes, support for revival of industries are
all designed to reinvigorate the economy and
enhance living standards of ordinary people.
We are getting security right. We are stopping
corruption in its tracks and we will get the
economy right by the Grace of God.
I enjoin Muslims to live by the dictates of Islam, to
keep good relationships with their Christian
brothers and sisters and as patriots to maintain the
spirit of the Nigerian nation.
I wish everyone happy holidays.
Muhammadu Buhari
