Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari: 'End unruliness'

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has called on
Nigerians to stop their "unruly behaviour" to achieve
progress.
"To bring about change, we must change ourselves by
being law-abiding citizens," he said in an address to
mark 55 years of independence.
Mr Buhari was a military ruler in 1984 and 1985, and
ordered civil servants who were late for work to do frog
jumps as he tried to impose discipline.
He returned to office in May after winning democratic
elections.
Nigeria is Africa's most populous state, and the
continent's main oil producer.
However, most of its citizens live in poverty, and the
country often faces fuel and electricity shortages.
"Change does not just happen," Mr Buhari said in his
first address to the nation since becoming president.
"We must change our unruly behaviour in schools,
hospitals, market places, motor parks, on the roads, in
homes and offices," he added.
He did not give any details of policies he would
introduce to encourage the change of behaviour.
In the 1980s, as well as the public humiliation of civil
servants, he also deployed soldiers to force Nigerians to
form orderly queues while waiting for public transport.
Mr Buhari strongly defended his failure to appoint a
cabinet some four months after taking office, saying he
did not want to act in a "haphazard" way.
"Anyway, the wait is over. The first set of names for
ministerial nominees for confirmation has been sent to
the senate," he said.
The list has not yet been made public.
