The president during his Independence Day broadcast to the nation said his administration has implemented measures to steer the country on the path of economic prosperity.

The president urged Nigerians to be patient with his government, saying additional efforts are going towards restoring peace and stability.

He listed his government’s N-Power programme as one of the key drivers of job creation, as well as other infrastructure projects currently underway across the country.
