I’M TROUBLED BY NATION’S CHALLENGES – ABDULSALAMI

Abubakar expressed this feeling yesterday in Ilorin, while speaking at the commissioning of the re-modeled State General Hospital in Ilorin.
His words: “As someone who has watched our country triumph over a civil war and several other crises and had the privilege of supervising our country’s return to democracy, I am troubled by the challenges that currently confront our country.”
Abubakar, however, expressed optimism that the country would soon overcome them.
“However, I have no doubt in my mind that our country will overcome these transient challenges and take its rightful place in the league of prosperous nations.
