Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Barely 48 hours to the inauguration of the incoming administration, President Muhammadu said his eight years tenure has doubled Nigeria\u2019s infrastructural fortunes.<\/p>\n

Buhari disclosed this on Saturday through his verified Twitter handle.<\/p>\n

According to Buhari, Nigeria\u2019s stock of infrastructure to Gross Domestic Product have grown significantly by 20 per cent under his watch.<\/p>\n

He noted that without investing in infrastructure, it would have been tougher exiting poverty.<\/p>\n

He stated that Nigeria\u2019s rising debt profile should be compared in relation with the Country\u2019s rising assets, investments profiles.<\/p>\n

He explained that the infrastructural growth recorded under his administration happened when oil plunged, recession and global economic downturns.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn eight years, I am proud to say that we have doubled Nigeria\u2019s stock of infrastructure to GDP from about 20% to over 40%, and that is no small undertaking.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis happened when global oil prices plunged to almost zero, when we encountered a recession that was not predicted, when we dealt with a pandemic that was unforeseen and when we are still grappling with the global effects of an ongoing war in Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout investing in infrastructure, the road out of poverty is a much tougher one\u201d, he posted.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Buhari took over the mantle of leadership from former President Goodluck Jonathan. He was re-elected in 2019.<\/p>\n

On Monday May 29 2023, Buhari will hand over to Bola Ahmed Tinubu.<\/p>\n
