Buhari serves dishes to IDPs, taxi drivers, others at breaking of Ramadan fast
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Abuja hosted less-privileged members of the society to the breaking of Ramadan fast with a pledge that his administration would adequately address their challenges.
The president, who personally served food to his guests, said his administration was conscious of their needs and desire but that the government met very poor conditions on ground.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the guests included some Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), taxi drivers, hair dressers, motorcycle riders, barbers, transport workers, butchers, tailors, and junior staff of the campaign office of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
President Buhari said the drastic fall in the prices of oil in the international market, from 100 dollars to 30 dollars per barrel, had adversely affected the economy.
The president pledged that the APC-led Federal Government would improve the nation’s medical services and other social amenities to uplift the quality of life of the less privileged members of the society across the country.
“Please, I want you to bear in mind as from today that we care about you, on daily basis. We will try and improve the medical care and other services so that you spend less time looking for treatment or looking for sympathy,’’ he added.
