The President who emphasized the need for power stability noted that without power stability, the effort to improve the small and medium scale industry will not succeed and that the administration will lay more emphasis on economic development.

He said that Nigeria must remain united and that the days of fanning religious and tribal violence were over and that any Nigerian that will be culpable of such violence will not only be made to face the law but would be seen as not working in the interest of the nation.
