Giving the assurance yesterday at the opening of a two-day Mid-Term Ministerial Performance Review Retreat to assess progress made at achieving the nine priorities of this administration at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Nigerian leader used the event, third of such in the second lap of his administration, to highlight some achievements in the last two years.
