President Barack Obama of the United States of America on Tuesday praised President Muhammadu Buhari’s economic reforms, describing them as “bold”.
Obama made the commendation when he met with Buhari on the sidelines of the ongoing 71st UN General Assembly in New York.
He said: “We discussed broader issues on development and the President is taking some very bold economic reforms in allowing for a flexible exchange rate.
“We are focusing on agriculture and we pledged to offer all the assistance that we can in that area and as the president is trying to stamp out corruption and to recover external funds that may have been illegally obtained and are sitting in bank accounts around the world.
“As he continues to work to see that the security forces inside Nigeria are abiding professional and human right standards, what we have pledged is that we will partner in any way that we can be helpful.”
