The Presidency has released the actions and measures being taken by President Muhammadu Buhari to reduce the suffering of Nigerians after the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an article made available to DAILY POST on Thursday by Femi Adesina, the President’s Spokesman noted that Buhari is focusing on the future.
“There is global anxiety on what the future holds for humanity post-COVID-19, particularly in respect of the economy, healthcare, job security, and general wellbeing,” he said.
He noted that Nigerians are not immune from the disquietude since they belong to the global community.
According to the Presidency, there is a checklist of some measures that President Buhari has taken, and will further take, to make life abundant for Nigerians.
Adesina said he hopes this would assuage the apprehension of Nigerians.
