In a statement released by the special adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, He said,
"On the fight against corruption vis-à-vis the
judiciary, Nigerians will be right to say that is my main headache for
now. If you reflect on what I went through for twelve years when I
wanted to be the President, I attempted three times and on the fourth
attempt through God and the use of technology, it was possible for
Nigerians to elect an APC candidate as President. In my first attempt in
2003, I ended up at the Supreme Court and for 13 months I was in court.
The second attempt in 2007, I was in court close to 20 months and in
2011, my third attempt, I was also in court for nine months. All these
cases went up to the Supreme Court until the fourth time in 2015, when
God agreed that I will be President of Nigeria’’
He assured members of the Nigerian community that with the support
of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, he will continue to do his best to
improve the nation’s judicial administration system. On urban
development and infrastructure, Buhari announced that the Federal
Government has ordered a review of several railway transport projects
signed by the previous administration with the Chinese government.
"The Chinese government was very generous to Nigeria on the projects signed with the previous government because they agreed to pay 85 per cent of the project. But the Nigerian government was unable to meet up with its counterpart funding of 15 per cent, so the Chinese government was unable to make any impact on the project.’’

He also said that the proposed budget would focus on increasing efficiency and transparency in government operations and the blocking of leakages from revenue generating agencies. He added that the recovered assets of the country would also be used to reduce the budget deficit.
On the proposed N6.077 trillion 2016 budget submitted to the National Assembly, Buhari said for the first time in Nigeria, the budget will be largely financed from non-oil revenue. He identified the collapse of the international oil market and oil theft in the Niger Delta as main reasons for projecting more revenues to fund the budget from the non-oil sector.
"The theft of the oil market by some Nigerians that happen to live there who feel that the oil belongs to them and not the country is an irritating thing for those of us who participated in the civil war for 30 months in which at least 2 million Nigerians were killed,’’ he said.
