President Muhammadu Buhari says the full impact of most of the strategic projects started under his watch will only be felt long after he had left office.
The president said this while inaugurating the new board of the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) in Abuja on Wednesday.
He said his administration operates on the agenda for long term change, which he said was inevitable, assuring of his administration’s commitment to implementing long-term projects and programmes that create jobs for Nigerians.
‘’Buhari noted that the full impact of most of the strategic projects started under his watch will only be felt long after he had left office, ‘’said the statement.
“The President described the appointment of the 9-man board as a call to duty, action and performance, adding that they were eminently qualified for the job.’’
“‘This Government operates on the agenda for long term change which we all agree is inevitable. Change happens whether you are ready for it or not.
“As representatives of the Federation, you are required to continue to drive the performance of the Authority to deliver benefits to all Nigerians.
‘‘You must bear in mind that the National Economic Council, your Governing Council and Nigerians as a whole will hold you accountable for this mandate.
‘‘Periodically, you will be required to provide evidence of your stewardship at the Governing Council Meetings where your performance will be assessed,” he said
