President-Goodluck-JonathanPresident Goodluck Jonathan said that he prays every day not  to hand over Boko Haram insurgency to any future president of Nigeria.
Jonathan who stated this yesterday at the commissioning of Wuye Ultra  Modern Market in Abuja, humorously said that he had been identified as  the luckiest president to have supervised the celebration of the Golden  Jubilee of Nigeria’s independence, and the Nigeria centenary  anniversary, but, failed to be identified as the luckiest president  managing Boko Haram insurgency.
He described the Wuye Ultra Modern Market which is a collaborative  venture between the FCTA and All Purpose Shelters Limited, as a New Year  gift to FCT residents. He said the market would become one of the major  hobs of economic activities in the FCT, saying that the successful  execution of the project demonstrated the commitment and capacity of  government to synergise with the private sector to execute projects that  are beneficial to Nigerians.
“We therefore welcome and continue to support active private  participation in the development of this great country of ours. Check  the life line of every economy, market is the centre of every economy.  For an economy to grow, it must trade at several physical levels, it  must trade meaningfully with the wider world, like external trade, trade  robustly with neighbours, like external trade amongst neighbouring  countries and most importantly there must be a robust trade within the  country.
“These three pillars are key element in Nigeria’s intending trade  strategy and policies. In this country, we have the history of markets  that have contributed to the growth of our economy and social life. Like  the Onitsha Market, Kano and Ibadan Markets amongst others. Some of  these markets are not used by only Nigerians, but also by neighbouring  countries. The Kano market is a good example of that.

“It is markets like this Wuye Market that carries on internal trade  and must carry on with the tradition. Internal trade in Nigeria has  grown on an average of about 11.5per cent over the last five years. Last  year, wholesale and retail trades in Nigeria accounted for over 15 per  cent of our GDP. More than N6.5trn of our economic activities in our  country came from domestic trade alone.
