Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari has said he is the envy of many presidents in the world because of the support his government gets from the private sector.
The President spoke on Wednesday in Abuja at the inauguration and handover of N12 billion worth of security equipment to the military and the Nigeria Police Force.
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.
Buhari said, “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.
“I am exceedingly honoured to be the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, at this time.
“I am gratified to have the honour of leading a country whose private sector willingly galvanises itself to raise funds to enthusiastically support government in resolving social ills.
