Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, says president Muhammadu Buhari is working to improve the standard of living of citizens.
Adesina, who spoke on Sunday Politics, a Channels Television programme, also said with the current efforts on improving security, insurgency could be brought to an end within the 17 months that Buhari has left in office.
According to him: “I recall that the president’s Christmas message spoke about, you know, the president working to actually uplift the standard of living of Nigerians,”
“And I mean, there will be questions as to how we know that; that is the national development plan 2021 to 2025. But how would you really describe the living standard of the average Nigerian so we can know where we are going? Let’s know where we are. First, how do you describe the living standard of the average Nigerian today?

“Well, we live in a challenged society — challenged politically, challenged security wise, challenged economically. So, that gives you an understanding of what the government is confronting. Government is confronting severe challenges.
“But despite those challenges, it is keeping its head above water. It is doing his best for Nigerians. It may not be what they want; it may not be as good as it has ever been in the days of boom for the country, but then government is keeping its head above the waters.
“Nigerians are also looking into the purpose of government as to make life better for the people at any given time. And that is what this government is out to achieve — to make life better.”
