The White House published "Remarks by President Obama after Bilateral meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria." Quotes from the remarks read: ""We discussed broader issues of development. And the President is taking some very bold economic reforms, including allowing for flexibility in exchange rates, refocusing on agricultural production. And we pledged to offer all the assistance that we can in those areas. And as the President is trying to stamp out corruption, to recover external funds that may have been illegally obtained and are sitting in bank accounts around the world, as he continues to work to make sure that the security forces inside of Nigeria are abiding by professional and human rights standards, what we've pledged is, is that we will partner in any ways that we can to be helpful."

It appears that Obama gave Buhari a farily good report card based on his performance so far. However, may Nigerians who are aware of the reality in the country are yet to witness evidence of Buhari's good leadership.
