President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday declared that the support his government had been receiving from the organised private sector in addressing the nation’s social challenges was the reason why he was the envy of many presidents of the world.
The president spoke yesterday, at the inauguration and handover of security equipment valued at over N12 billion to the military and Nigeria Police Force which preceded the maiden meeting of the National Security Council (NSC) in 2023, at the State House, Abuja.
The items were donated by the Coalition of Private Sector Against COVID-19 (CACOVID) – a group of eminent Nigerian industrialists, including Aliko Dangote and Herbert Wigwe, who had also pooled N40 billion to combat COVID-19 in the country.
“Ladies and gentlemen. Today is indeed a very happy day for all Nigerians, and I can happily say that I am the envy of many Presidents in the world.
