Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s president on Tuesday in Abuja, said his government will not allow any individuals or groups to destabilize the country.

This is as he urged Nigerians to resist agents bent on causing the breakdown of law and order in the country.

The president, according to a statement from Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, gave the assurance at an Iftar dinner with governors, ministers, and heads of government agencies.

‘‘We have the land, we have the resources, and we have the people. But I do not know why people will allow themselves to be successfully subverted to destabilize their own country,’’ he said.

President Buhari, who thanked the Governors and Ministers for honoring his invitation to break the Ramadan fast, expressed confidence that despite the current security challenges, the country will succeed.

In the forthcoming general elections, the President affirmed that being a beneficiary of free, fair, and credible elections, the introduction of technology, and the Permanent Voters Card (PVCs) will make it impossible for anyone to claim millions of votes again in the country.

Chairman, Nigeria Governors Forum, and Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, commended President Buhari for demonstrating resilience and determination at a crucial period in Nigeria’s history.

‘‘We have a leader who is not distracted by momentary challenges but has continued to commit to the renewal of our nation and we, governors, ministers, and heads of government agencies are equally dedicated to building a better Nigeria, on your watch,’’ he said.

Noting that this year’s Holy month of Ramadan coincided with the just concluded Christian Lenten period, the Governor of Ekiti said it holds enormous spiritual value on the benefits of renewal, sacrifice, almsgiving, forgiveness, and healing for the individual as well as the nation.

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has announced the removal of the 18-year age limit for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

He also indicated the possibility of a comprehensive review of the nation’s education policy.

However, Alausa made it clear that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to invalidate over 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from unrecognized universities in neighboring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Speaking at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Alausa emphasized that practical education is key to tackling Nigeria’s unemployment crisis. He stated that tertiary institutions must stop producing graduates without ensuring job opportunities for them.

The minister also revealed plans for the federal government to partner with private sector players to provide training opportunities for students and help them realize their full potential.

Additionally, Alausa announced that universities focused on agriculture would be empowered to implement commercial farming practices as part of efforts to address the country’s food security challenges.
