At the public presentation of a book, ‘Nigerian
Century’ written by Dare Babarinsa that was held on Thursday February 18th, 2016, at Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja. President Buhari who was represented by former
governor of Ekiti State and deputy chairman of All Progressives Congress in the
South, Segun Oni read the speech of President Buhari that says Nigeria
presently has the fastest growing economy in Africa and the world.
"Yes, our land is blessed by providence with riches in oil and gas,
iron ore, gold, limestone and almost all the minerals of this earth. Our soil
can grow almost any crop and our vegetation supports animal life as varied as
creation can manifest. Our rivers and coast lines are rich with fishes and
various kinds of life. Yet, despite these bounties from nature, I have no doubt
that the greatest blessings of Nigeria are the people of Nigeria, the wonderful
people that give expression to the grandeur and majesty of our beloved country.
Today, our country has the fastest growing economy in Africa and one of the
fastest in the world. Our dominance is not so much because of our wealth, but
because of the tremendous energy and resourcefulness of our people. How many
countries of the world can parade the likes of Professor Wole Soyinka, Jay Jay
Okocha, King Sunny Ade and Alhaji Aliko Dangote literally under the same roof?”
he said.
