I feel pain of loss, anxiety, frustration that comes with uncertain times: Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Saturday, released an emotional message to celebrate children’s day.
The president in his message sympathized with families who lost their children due to insecurity in some parts of Nigeria.
He noted that his administration fought hard to ensure the release of some kidnapped children and prayed that more will be released during the next administration.
As President Buhari prepares to leave office in less than 48 hours, he thanked parents for their support in realizing some of his administration targets.
He urged all Nigerians to continue to fear God, love knowledge and work hard.
On this special day, we are immensely grateful to God for another opportunity to celebrate our children, on May 27th, 2023.
Every Children’s Day reminds us of the future, and the necessary sacrifices and building blocks by parents, guardians, teachers, leaders, and Government to secure our greatest assets on earth, the YOUNGER ONES.

Govt Alone Can’t Provide Housing–Fashola
The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, has said government only cannot meet the housing needs of Nigerians, hence the need to create an enabling environment for private sector involvement in housing provision.
The minister said this during the launch of the National Housing Strategy Blueprint at the ministry headquarters on Friday.
The document is a 10-year strategic blueprint designed to harmonise all extant housing initiatives by various stakeholders into a single strategy.
He stated that despite the numerous housing programmes initiated by the current administration for affordable housing, it still didn’t provide more homes than private enterprises.
According to him, the private sector remains the real driver of housing solutions, adding that the document would unleash the power of private capital in the sector.
