Exit from recession indicates work in progress - Buhari

Presidential spokesman Femi Adesina says Nigeria’s exit from economic recession indicates President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration is working for the progress and prosperity of the masses.

Adesina, who addressed a rally for the Federal Government organised by the Centre for Civil Society and Justice, in Abuja on Tuesday said: “You have chosen a very auspicious day for this solidarity rally.

“Earlier today, we were told that Nigeria had officially exited recession.

“That shows that we have a government that is working for us; we have a government that is interested in our welfare; we have a government that is interested in our well-being.

“Recession came due to some mistakes of the past and in just about a year, the government battled it and today we are officially out of recession and we give all glory to God.’’

Adesina assured the rally that he would relay their message of support and solidarity on the unity of Nigeria to the President.

“You know the President swore to uphold the Constitution and the Constitution recognises Nigeria as one indissoluble entity.

“The President has sworn to keep the unity of the country and whatever it takes; he will keep to that pledge,’’ he added.

The presidential aide advised those ‘‘beating the drums of separation’’ to keep their peace, adding that the present government is resolute to preserve the unity, cohesion and togetherness of Nigeria.(NAN)
