President Muhammadu Buhari has advised citizens to renew hope in the country, urging them to use the Christmas season to show love to one another.
Buhari in his Christmas message said Nigerians should use the season to
encourage ourselves so that the machinations of the wicked ones in our
midst will find no place to thrive.
The President, while noting that the diversification drive of the
government is yielding fruits, restated the resolve to do more and also
assured that with the renewed commitment of security agencies,
Nigerians would soon witness an improvement.
According to Buhari, his administration has continued to support the
security personnel in the discharge of their duties, leading to “remarkable
successes”.
In another development, President Buhari is presiding over an
emergency Security Council meeting at the state house.
Before the commencement of the meeting, the president swore-in the
new Minister of State for Works and Housing Mu’Azu Jaji Sambo at the
Council Chambers. The Senate had on December 21, confirmed the
nomination of Sambo as Minister-Designate after he was screened on
