Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n
The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s assumption of office in 2015 prevented Nigeria from becoming a failed state.<\/p>\n
Mohammed said Buhari saved Nigeria after what he called a \u201clong stretch of rapacious and rudderless leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
He stated that Buhari assumed power at a time when the country was besieged by insurgents, stressing that many Nigerian towns and cities, including the capital city of Abuja, were a playground for insurgents.<\/p>\n
Mohammed also pointed out that prior to Buhari\u2019s assumption of power, Nigeria\u2019s wealth had been looted dry, with little or nothing to show for the nation\u2019s huge earnings.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201dNigeria today faces a lot of challenges. But whatever situation the country has found itself in, things would have been much worse but for the deft management of resources, unprecedented fight against corruption, determined battle against insurgency and banditry as well as the abiding courage of Mr President in piloting the ship of state.<\/p>\n
