Nigeria is rich, but Nigerians are poor, EU Ambassador tells Buhari

The EU Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS, Mr Michel Arrion, made the call at the Europe Day 2015 on Saturday in Abuja. Mr Arrion tasked the President-elect, retired Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that Nigerians enjoyed the democracy dividends .

“Nigeria is rich, but Nigerians are poor. The incoming administration will have a lot to do in this regard.
“But democracy only makes meaning to the common man to the extent that it delivers good governance, creates opportunities and improves the quality of living.
“It must ensure that Nigeria’s massive population is galvanised into a formidable productive force that will generate wealth that is equally or rather equitably shared among all citizens,” he said.
