President Muhammadu Buhari speaks on leaving the office or Not

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday, described his seven years in office as “tough” saying “I am eager to go.”


This was as he called on the Academic Staff Union of Universities to consider the plight of the future generations of the country as the strike stretches into the fifth month.


He claimed that relative to the resources available, and compared to the last administration, the government had done well in many areas, particularly in infrastructure.


“I am eager to go. I can tell you it has been tough. I am grateful to God that people appreciate the personal sacrifices we have been making. I wish the person who is coming after me the very best,” he said.


Addressing the now six-month ASUU strike that has crippled academic activities in public universities nationwide, the President appealed to lecturers to consider the effect of the strike on future generations.


President Buhari said students from Nigerian universities are already handicapped in competing with their counterparts in a highly connected and technology-driven workspace, therefore, keeping them at home only deprives them of time, skill, and opportunities to be relevant on the global stage.
