How Buhari Saved Nigeria’s Economy – A Middle Schooler’s Perspective

Buhari’s Economic Success

Hey there, fellow middle schoolers! Today, we’re going to talk about how former President Muhammadu Buhari helped Nigeria’s economy during his time in office. His spokesperson, Garba Shehu, wants to set the record straight and tell us that Buhari actually brought the country out of a tough situation.

According to Shehu, no other past administration had to deal with economic problems like Buhari did. You see, Nigeria heavily relies on oil, and when the prices of oil went down, it caused a lot of trouble for the country. On top of that, the whole world was hit by the Coronavirus pandemic, which made things even worse.

But guess what? Buhari managed to turn things around and save the Nigerian economy from this crisis. It wasn’t easy, but he did it!

Now, let’s take a moment to understand why Buhari’s administration faced these economic challenges. It’s important to know that no government can solve all the problems a nation faces. Sometimes, things happen that are beyond their control.

For example, when the prices of oil dropped, it affected Nigeria’s economy because the country heavily relies on oil for its income. And then, the Coronavirus pandemic hit, causing countries all over the world to shut down. This led to a big drop in economic activity, and Nigeria was not spared from its impact.

Recently, the First Lady, Remi Tinubu, mentioned that President Bola Tinubu inherited a damaged economy from Buhari. She wants us to understand that Tinubu is not a magician who can instantly fix everything, but he will work hard to repair the things that were damaged in the country.

It’s important to remember that fixing an economy takes time and effort. Just like when you accidentally break something at home, it doesn’t magically fix itself. You need to put in the work to make it right again. The same goes for a country’s economy.

So, let’s give credit where it’s due. Buhari faced some tough times during his presidency, but he managed to bring Nigeria’s economy out of hardship. It wasn’t an easy task, but he did his best to turn things around. And now, it’s up to the current leaders to continue the work and make Nigeria even stronger!
