President Muhammadu Buhari says it is the bounden duty of leaders to do the best for their people, despite shrinking resources, particularly within the West African sub-region.
The President stated this on Friday at State House in Abuja while
receiving in farewell audience, the Ambassador of Burkina Faso, Piabie
Firmin Gregoire N’do, who spent eight years on tour of duty.
He added that he hoped the outgoing ambassador would use experiences
garnered in the field “for decision making in your country when you go
back”.
In reaction, Ambassador N’do expressed the good wishes of his country,
and of himself to Nigeria, commending President Buhari for good
diplomacy which has seen Nigerians leading many international
organisations.
He equally expressed appreciation for different kinds of support from
Nigeria to Burkina Faso during the flooding crisis, their national
elections, and at many other critical times.
The Burkina Faso envoy said he enjoyed his stay in Nigeria and had his
last daughter here, adding that he holds very pleasant memories of the
country.
