in office. Kunle Olasanmi in this report looks at the achievements recorded by his government in about 365 days.
On May 29, 2015, during the inauguration of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, hopes were high that the new president and his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) will change the fortune of this country for better. The high hopes of Nigerians was as a result of the mis-rule of the People Democratic Party (PDP) in the last 16 years. For this new government, it’s been so far, so good. The people of Nigerian could not have asked for a better deal. The present administration has not disappointed Nigerians with its policies that are peoples oriented.
Below are some of the achievements of this government in office in the last one year.
Insurgency:
During his inauguration speech, the president made it clear that in a few months, the onslaught of Boko Haram will be a thing of the past. He also announced that the military command would be moved to Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, Headquarter s of Boko Haram. Few weeks later, the president followed his words with action with the total overhaulling of the dysfunctional topmost hierarchy of the Nigerian Military. This later resulted in optimal result and degradation of the Boko Haram terrorists. aside that, it was also able to bring back the country’s hitherto military allies like the United States and UK governments that have always been committing their resources to the fight against the insurgents after previously backing out of negotiations with the previous administration. There is currently no Nigerian territory under the control of the Boko Haram at the moment.
