Abuja: As Nigeria reflects on the tenure of former President Muhammadu Buhari, a complex narrative of progress and missed opportunities emerges. From ambitious initiatives aimed at achieving food sustainability to instances of heavy-handedness, Buhari’s legacy is a picture in sharp contrasts.

According to Deutsche Welle, during his time in office, Buhari introduced several initiatives to boost Nigeria’s agricultural sector, aiming for food sustainability. These efforts were part of a broader strategy to reduce the nation’s dependence on oil and diversify its economy. The administration also focused on infrastructure development, particularly in transportation and energy sectors, to support economic growth.

However, Buhari’s tenure was also marked by criticism over his administration’s approach to governance and human rights. Instances of heavy-handedness and allegations of corruption were reported, raising concerns about the effectiveness of his leadership in fostering a transparent and accountable government.

As Buhari’s presidency drew to a close, the mixed outcomes of his policies remained a subject of debate among Nigerians. The balance between strides made in economic diversification and the challenges in governance continue to shape the discourse on his legacy.
