Buhari called the nation’s continued infrastructural development “wonderful.”
On Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari advised Nigerians to be grateful for what they had because their condition was not as bad as other nations’.
After commissioning certain initiatives carried out by the public and private sectors and capping off his official tour of the state, the President delivered a speech at a state banquet in Kano.
In a statement made by his media assistant, Femi Adesina, Buhari referred to the nation’s continuous infrastructural development as “wonderful.”
We live in a wonderful country, but we don’t really appreciate it until we travel to neighbouring nations and other places where having one healthy meal a day is the norm.
“The quantity of high-rise structures I see and the amount of growth on the ground are spectacular when I fly by helicopter.” Thank you, God. Thank you, God. “We are grateful,” the President remarked.
“Whether we like it or not, we are going to leave the country for them,” Buhari warned the elite, urging them to inspire and motivate young people to pursue education.
They must value education for its own sake. Although technology has made it feasible to take shortcuts, real learning cannot be replaced. Encourage the kids to learn, please.
He commended Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje for doing a great job with infrastructure and added that his recent state trips to Kogi, Yobe, Lagos, and Katsina demonstrated that the various governors had done a great job within the constraints of the resources at their disposal.

Regarding security, the president claimed that his administration had been successful in eliminating Boko Haram and restricting their ability to cause harm. He called the terrorist organisation a bogus one with connections to foreign organisations out to destroy Nigeria.
The Kano State Government, along with the Federal Government, had organised the Dala Inland Dry Port’s inauguration as the President’s first event while in the state.
The Federal Government’s Ports Reform Program included the Inland Dry Port Project as a way to decongest the seaports and bring shipping and port services closer to importers and exporters in the hinterland.
The President also officially opened the 10 MW Haske Solar Plant in Kumbotso Local Government, Kano State, which was supported by the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA).
The facility is an important step in the direction of efforts to offer clean, dependable, and sustainable energy for all Nigerians because it connects industrial clients to an extra power supply.
The 10 MW facility is the first NSIA renewable energy project and the largest finished solar plant in Nigeria.
Additionally, he ordered the construction of the Family Homes Funds Estate in Darmanawa, Kano, which has 469 affordable housing units and supporting infrastructure.
The project was carried out by Family Homes in collaboration with the Yobe State Government, and it was inaugurated shortly after the 2,600 housing units on Potiskum Road in Damaturu, Yobe State, were completed.
