But President BUHARI also expressed his resentment over comments by some Nigerians that tend to divide the country while he was away in London.
Speaking in his first televised broadcast in a long while, President BUHARI stressed that now that he was back, government would not relent in addressing the prevailing challenges.
The President particularly talked tough against individuals clamouring for divisions based on ethnic lines, recalling a meeting he had with late Biafran leader, Chief EMEKA ODUMEGWU OJUKWU in 2003 during which they both agreed that Nigeria is better as one united country.
President BUHARI, however acknowledge legitimate grievances by all groups in Nigeria, which he said can be addressed through existing instruments of state.
The President charged the security agencies to redouble their efforts against those who are promoting ethnic violence in addition to checking the resurgence of attacks by the Boko Haram terrorist group.
