Stability Critical To Efficient Management Of Resources – President Buhari
BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said without social, political and economic stability, it will be difficult for any country to effectively manage its resources.
President Buhari, who stated this when he received in audience the Special Envoy of the President of Republic of Congo, Mr Jean Claude Gakosso at State House, Abuja also stressed the need for peace and stability, so that the resources of a country can be used for the good of the people.
According to the President; “”Stability is critical, if a country is to manage its resources effectively. I am aware of the problems of our own country. We are very large, deficient in infrastructure, and trying to improve on political and economic stability. In my last lap in office, I will give it my best.
“Developing countries that had oil, used to be very powerful in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), due to their production capacities, but as a result of technology, the United States no longer depends on them for her oil and energy needs.”
Earlier, Mr Jean Claude Gakosso, who is Minister of Foreign Affairs and Congolese in Diaspora conveyed a special message on behalf of President Denis Sassou Nguesso, and congratulated President Buhari on what he called his “brilliant performance” at the recently held presidential election.
President Buhari pledged continued collaboration with the Republic of Congo which is a medium oil producer in Africa, adding that; “so that we can get the best for our respective countries, and invest for development.”
The Special Envoy, on behalf of his President, wished President Buhari wisdom and good health, so that he can continue to lead his people efficiently and effectively.
