The President noted that his administration had started working stating that his administration took over when Oil, the major source of income generation had crashed significantly worldwide.
He urged Nigerians to give them more time stating that his administration has started working and the nation would soon experience transformation in every sector of the economy.
Buhari said, “I have said it so many times, I don’t mind saying it now to you because some of you may not have even the time to listen to radio or watch television as regularly as other people do.
“From 1999 to 2014, Nigeria has never realised so many resources since our independence, never, because the average production – go to any renowned financial or economic institution in the world; they know Nigeria produced an average of – (was) 2.1 million barrel per day at an average cost of 100 dollars per barrel.
“But when we came in it crashed to 37 dollars per barrel, and we overlooked saving and there was no saving.
“So really, we have just started working and we hope God in his infinite mercy would give Nigerians the patience to tolerate us.”
