President Muhammadu Buhari said he has done his best for Nigeria despite the size, population, and many challenges confronting the country.
The president spoke while welcoming the Secretary General of the Abu Dhabi Forum, Sheikh Al-Mahfoudh Bin Bayyah and his deputy, Pastor Bob Roberts of the US who visited him in Washington, USA.
In the statement released by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, the president said that the work of the foundation in promoting multi-faith dialogue was as important to the world as it was to Nigeria.
Buhari also spoke about the need to raise generations of youths devoid of religious extremism and bigotry, urging the group to continue to target the young people who are the promise of the future.
He added that Nigerian youths are his promise for a better future and solving their problems is the priority of the government.
Buhari said: “Your work is very important in helping, especially the youth to understand one another and at the same time, to be proud of their heritage.
”This great initiative by you will help future generations to plan well and live together in peace. On our part, we will continue to solve our problems, especially as they relate to the youths.
”We are big in size and population, facing many challenges, but in many areas, we are trying. In seven-and-a-half years, I have done my best,” said the president.
The secretary-general said they had come to inform the president and to invite him to attend the conferment upon him, the Abu Dhabi Foundation’s award in recognition of his outstanding achievements in promoting peace and security.
He said the conferment was in line with the foundation’s work in fighting religious extremism, promoting peaceful coexistence and dialogue amongst all religions.
