RALD NEWS MEDIA REPORT

In a recent development at the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) headquarters in Daura, Katsina state, former Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari delivered commendations to President Bola Tinubu for his adept management amid the prevailing economic challenges since assuming office in May 2023.

During the visit, Buhari, a seasoned statesman with intimate knowledge of Nigeria's intricate governance dynamics, urged citizens to endure the prevailing economic hardships and throw their support behind the policies and initiatives of the incumbent administration.

"I thank you very much for coming. I very much appreciate it. I thought Tinubu has done very well. Nigeria is so complex. Really, there isn’t much anybody can do," expressed Buhari, underscoring the complexities inherent in governing Nigeria.

Despite Buhari's acknowledgment of Tinubu's efforts, the latter has found himself under significant scrutiny due to recent policy decisions, notably the removal of petrol subsidies and the unification of exchange rates. These measures have contributed to heightened inflation and exacerbated economic challenges, drawing criticism from various quarters.

As debates surrounding Tinubu's leadership persist, Buhari's remarks shed light on the ongoing discourse concerning governmental strategies and policies, prompting further reflection amidst the backdrop of Nigeria's current economic landscape.
