In farewell speech, Buhari hails administration’s victory over COVID-19

President Muhammadu Buhari has commended his administration for its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which claimed 3,155 lives in Nigeria.

“The deftness of our response to the pandemic still remains a global best practice,” Mr Buhari said in a farewell broadcast Sunday morning. 

The outgoing president, however, acknowledged that the pandemic contributed to “the supply chain disruptions and economic downturn,” experienced globally between 2020 and 2022.
