Abstract

The emergence of Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in May 2015 with the ? change slogan raised the aspirations of the citizenry for good governance, due to high rate of poverty, unemployment, militancy and terrorism among others. The state of fulfilment of electoral promises in terms of speedy socio - economic development and enduring peace motivated this study to review mid - term performance of the administration. The study adopted a descriptive design relying on secondary data sources. It found that the ?war against terrorism has recorded significant success but the emergence of herdsmen violence has constituted security challenges like Boko Haram. It was found that the war against corruption has not been reasonably won. Efforts has been geared towards enhancing agricultural production which is expected to generate employment and reduce poverty but the herdsmen violence has been a constraint. The study concluded that inspite of moderate achievements recorded by the government, the effects have not significantly transformed the lives of the citizenry in view of high rate of poverty and unemployment and increasing restiveness nationally. It recommended that the war against corruption must not be s elective or politically motivated. The study further recommended the need to boost agriculture by creating enabling environment to make agriculture attractive; enhanced storage facilities and create markets for finished products. Efforts should equally be geared towards industrialization rather than consumers of finished product. Lastly, it recommended inclusive arrangement in the distribution of values is the best way of ensuring lasting peace.
