The next general election is in 8 months time - February 2019. As expected, a good number of Nigerians like myself are concerned about the performance of the current istration headed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

It is safe to say that we have experienced 'changes' under this istration as they promised - both positive and negative. But, to be honest, we haven't seen much positives yet.

However, you can't deny the fact that the previous istration of Goodluck Jonathan set the pace for some of the unpleasant experiences Nigeria has had in the last 3 years. The level of impunity it condoned was enough to wreck the economy of any nation in the world.

The reason for this post is not to give Buhari a mark (I am a strong critic of his istration by the way). But as someone who is an avid follower of Nigerian politics, and someone who has a strong interest in the advancement of this nation regardless of whoever is in power, I won't fail to appreciate The good deeds when I see them.

President Buhari inherited an economy which was literally on 'life '. Yes, he made a few mistakes which hurt the economy further; one of which was the late appointment of ministers. But, within these 3 years, he has been able to stabilize an ailing economy with the little resources he was left with.

On the 1st of June 2018, Vanguard newspapers released a fact sheet outlining the policy and programme achievements of the Buhari istration since it assumed office three years ago. This fact sheet highlights the successes in the economy, security, and the fight against corruption.

Below is a breakdown of the achievements of Buhari's istration so far in just 3 years.


- Nigeria’s economy is back on the path of growth, after the recession of 2016-17 (1.95 percent growth in Q1 2018).

- The Buhari istration’s priority Sectors of Agriculture and Solid Minerals maintained consistent growth throughout the recession.

- Inflation has fallen for the fifteenth (15th) consecutive month, from 18.7 percent in January 2017 to 12.5 percent as of April 2018.

- External Reserves of US$47.5 billion are the highest in 5 years and double the size as of October 2016.

- Total exports in 2017 were 59.47% higher than for 2016.

- The 1st quarter of 2018 saw the 4th consecutive quarterly increase in capital importation since Q2 2017. The total value of capital imported in the quarter stood at US$6.3 billion, which is a year-on-year increase of 594.03%, and a 17.11% growth over the figure in the previous quarter.

- The new FX Window introduced by the CBN in April 2017, now sees an average of US$1 billion in weekly turn-over and has attracted $25 billion in inflows in its first year (and a total turnover of $47.14 billion) – signaling rising investor confidence in Nigeria.

- Nigeria’s Stock Market ended 2017 as one of the best-performing in the world, with returns in excess of 40 percent.

- Five (5) million new taxpayers added to the Tax Base since 2016, as part of efforts to diversify Government revenues.

- Tax Revenue increased to N1.17 Trillion in Q1 2018, a 51% increase on the Q1 2017 figure.

- N2.7 Trillion spent on Infrastructure in 2016 and 2017 fiscal years, an unprecedented allocation in Nigeria’s recent history.

- Fourteen (14) moribund Blending Plants revitalized so far under the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI); with a total capacity of 2.3 million MT of NPK fertilizer.

- In May 2018, the Federal Government launched the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF), under the management of the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority. The PIDF is kicking off with seed funding of US$1.3 billion.

- Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) in March 2018 invested US$10m to establish a world-class Cancer Treatment Centre at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), and US$5m each in the Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital and the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, to establish modern Diagnostic Centres. These Centres should be completed before the end of 2018.

- The Buhari istration issued N100 billion Sukuk Bond in 2017, Nigeria’s first sovereign Sukuk Bond. Proceeds from that Bond are funding 25 major road projects across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.

- Nigeria’s economy is back on the path of growth, after the recession of 2016-17 (1.95 percent growth in Q1 2018).

- The Buhari istration’s priority Sectors of Agriculture and Solid Minerals maintained consistent growth throughout the recession.


When you look at these achievements critically, you will understand that a foundation has been set for a better Nigeria.

At this point in time, what Nigeria needs is consistency.

President Buhari may not be the best ever president we have had in our history but for the fact that he has been able to significantly turn around our economy for good in just 3 years, as his worst critic, I have no choice but to give him his due accolades.

K. I didn't read it sha

I have to it that this post has given me an insight into what has been going on. Nigeria is still pretty much a work in progress and I believe that we will gradually get there. Surely.

I also believe that if Buhari had not inherited a rotten economy, the nation's growth would have been way faster than it is right now.

Nevertheless, from your post, it appears that we are on the right track already. All we need to do as citizens of this country is to have patience and trust the journey.

Thank you so much for educating us on Buhari's achievements. More people need to see this.

I'm not a fan of long posts on Nairaland but I had to read this through.

I see people deliberating on whom to vote for in the next election but I strongly think we should stop running around in a circle and allow Buhari to continue with his reforms.

He has obviously been doing a lot of background work in stabilizing our economy. If allowed to continue, I believe we will eventually experience the Nigeria we have always wanted.

Creating numerous Naiaraland , to comment on the thread you create.


Please guys check the date those poster above and below ed , then tell me who is fooling who.

All what idiotic zombies can do is to create numerous in nairaland to defend their failed idiotic president.

Well, I have been saying this to people around me. With the way the last istration of Goodluck Jonathan messed up this country, I am surprised that we are even still in existence.

Buhari has done quite well with so little resources and we have to commend him.

Nice post man.

My joy is that the four years of allowing APC run Nigeria is almost at an end and Nigerians can confirm if
1) Nigeria is indeed in a better state than before APC took over
2) Corruption has been fought and in what capacity
3) The quality of life of the average Nigerian has improved.

- Fourteen (14) moribund Blending Plants revitalized so far under the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI); with a total capacity of 2.3 million MT of NPK fertilizer.

- In May 2018, the Federal Government launched the Presidential Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF), under the management of the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority. The PIDF is kicking off with seed funding of US$1.3 billion.

- Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) in March 2018 invested US$10m to establish a world-class Cancer Treatment Centre at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), and US$5m each in the Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital and the Federal Medical Centre, Umuahia, to establish modern Diagnostic Centres. These Centres should be completed before the end of 2018.

- The Buhari istration issued N100 billion Sukuk Bond in 2017, Nigeria’s first sovereign Sukuk Bond. Proceeds from that Bond are funding 25 major road projects across the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria.

- Nigeria’s economy is back on the path of growth, after the recession of 2016-17 (1.95 percent growth in Q1 2018).

- The Buhari istration’s priority Sectors of Agriculture and Solid Minerals maintained consistent growth throughout the recession.


When you look at these achievements critically, you will understand that a foundation has been set for a better Nigeria.

At this point in time, what Nigeria needs is consistency.

President Buhari may not be the best ever president we have had in our history but for the fact that he has been able to significantly turn around our economy for good in just 3 years, as his worst critic, I have no choice but to give him his due accolades.

can you please include some reference links to this claims ?
