President Buhari

More Nigerians on Thursday commended the Federal Government for recording great achievements in 2016 particularly in the area of security.

In separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), they said that the successes recorded in tackling insurgency, especially in the North east had restored confidence among Nigerians and prospective investors.

They however called on the government to sustain the efforts and improve the economy for a better and prosperous Nigeria in 2017.

Chief Charles Nwodo, the National Chairman, Progressive Action Council (PAC), urged the government to completely tackle the issue of farmers/herdsmen clashes in the New Year.

“The issue is still not tackled in consonance with the expectations of Nigerians and we believe that in 2017, the government will make it a serious project to unravel the people behind the farmers/herdsmen clashes.
