President Muhammadu Buhari has returned to Abuja after celebrating the Muslim festival of Eid-el-Kabir in Daura, his hometown.
Gov. Aminu Masari of Katsina State and other government dignitaries were at the airport to wish the president safe trip back to Abuja.
While in Daura, the president received seven APC governors, many members of the National Assembly including Sen. Shehu Sani as well as cabinet ministers, who paid him Sallah homage.
President Buhari also used the opportunity to hold various meetings with relatives, social and economic groups.
Before his departure, he addressed troops of the Nigerian Army noting that he was pleased with their fight against insurgents in Zamfara, Kaduna and parts of Katsina States.
He, therefore, tasked them to deal ruthlessly with any armed robber, cattle rustler and bandit who is caught, adding that Nigerians deserve to live in peace.
Furthermore, he reminded them that the present administration had pledged to provide security, enhance the economy and fight corruption.
Speaking on the issue of unemployment, the President decried that 60% of the population is below 30 years of age and have been unable to secure jobs after their education.
He, however, stated that the administration has continued to do devise more strategies and programmes to curb the menace.
