fuel price would soon be over. The president gave this assurance at Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos during the commissioning of projects and security vehicles and equipment provided by Lagos State Government in support of the Nigeria Police.
The president, who is on a one-day official visit to the state, but is represented by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the well-attended event, however, asked for the support and understanding of citizens.
Buhari commissioned the newly built Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) Rescue Unit at Cappa, Oshodi and Ago Palace Way in Okota.
He was received by Lagos State governor Akinwunmi Ambode, along with the minister for power, works, and housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola; Governor of Kebbi State, Alhaji Atiku Bagudu, and members of the state executive council.
The president said his government is fully aware of the present economic hardship being experienced by Nigerians and is ready to alleviate the impact within the shortest possible future.
Buhari pointed at the federal government's N500 billion social investment plan as part of measure to tackle the myriad economic problems as well as provide palliatives to the citizenry.
He said the investment plan would address the challenges of unemployment, industries, manufacturing and agriculture, among others.
