We carry out genomic sequencing in designated laboratories across the country with a view to detecting variants in circulation\u201d, the president had said.<\/p>\n<p>On the security menace bedeviling the entire nation, the Nigerian leader during the meeting, claimed that his government was addressing the challenges of terrorism and banditry currently bedeviling the Northern parts of the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria has spared no effort in addressing the challenges of terrorism posed by the activities of Boko Haram in North-East Nigeria and the Lake Chad region, as well as banditry in the North-West and North-Central Nigeria. The Nigerian Security Forces have recorded considerable success in the fight against terrorism. As a result of the renewed vigour of our military, many terrorist fighters are voluntarily surrendering to our security forces,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n<p>How we built hospitals across Nigeria to contain COVID-19 \u2013 Buhari to world leaders<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST reports that amid the backlash in Nigeria over his numerous loan requests in the past few years, President Buhari, during the speech, appealed to \u201drich nations\u201d and international financial institutions for outright debt cancellation for countries facing financial crisis birthed by COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Buhari particularly urged the G20 countries to extend their debt suspension initiatives to all developing countries currently facing fiscal and liquidity challenges.<\/p>\n<p>However, the speech has triggered backlash from concerned Nigerians as some accused the president of diverting from the security and economic reality of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting, the National Coordinator of the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko in a chat with DAILY POST on Sunday, said the president\u2019s speech lacked truth.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cIn as much as we wouldn\u2019t like to join words with Mr. President pertaining to his opinion about some improvements in security across board, we want to humbly disagree with our President on the ground that insecurity isn\u2019t so much about physical violence but the greatest kind of insecurity is economic insecurity which gives rise to other branches of security challenges such as security of lives and property\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that Buhari should rather tell Nigerians how many suspected \u201cmurderers and terrorists that have been arrested successfully and how many Fulani herdsmen have been jailed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the Nigerian representative at the African Youth Union Commission, AYUC, Aina Segun Aina, told DAILY POST in Abuja that the president was expected to solicit for help from the world leaders due to his failure to tackle the current security challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need all the support we can get at this time and that\u2019s what we expect our Government to be soliciting for at this particular point in time especially during Mr President\u2019s presentation to world leaders at the just-concluded UN General Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe world today cannot afford a humanitarian crisis of 200 million people and therefore must be drafted into the situation in Nigeria in terms of security sophistication, technology and intelligence gathering including economic and social development generally\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Buhari to address UN General Assembly amid protest<\/p>\n<p>DAILY POST reports that President Buhari\u2019s speech came when some activists, particularly the Yoruba Nation\u2019s agitator and other activists led by the former presidential aide, Reno Omokri stormed the Abuja House in New York to protest bad governance in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Pro- and anti-Buhari protests were constant features throughout the duration of President Buhari\u2019s participation at the programme. They allegedly clashed on Friday while the president was giving his speech.<\/p>\n<p>It was alleged that the pro-government protesters who congregated under the name of \u201cOne Nigeria\u201d were Black Americans who were allegedly hired to counter the other protesters.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the protest, a lecturer at the Benue State University, Makurdi who pleaded not to be mentioned, told DAILY POST on phone that President Buhari \u201conly knows how to bring shame to Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine the show of shame in New York on Friday when the whole world was watching and leaders of nations of the earth were present. When I watched the video online, I was ashamed of myself, Nigeria has been registered as a country with bad governance where citizens can\u2019t keep quiet anymore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just hope that the president and his cabals would learn from that drama and do the needful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
