ABUJA - Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari called for "national healing" on Thursday as the West African giant marked 60 years of independence in the face of deep economic and security challenges.
"Today, we grapple with multiple challenges with a population exceeding 200 million," Buhari, 77, said. The country is battling a decade-long jihadist insurgency in its northeast and has failed to tamp down bloody clashes, kidnappings and insecurity in the northwest. "An underlying cause of most of the problems we have faced as a nation is our consistent harping on artificially contrived fault-lines," Buhari said.
