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.

“And I mean, there will be questions as to how we know that; that is the national development plan 2021 to 2025.

“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.”
