President Bola Tinubu claims that his reforms in his two years in office are creating a solid basis for Nigerians to have a better future.
Tinubu, who was elected as President on May 29, 2023, stated that his Renewed Hope Agenda was working to reduce the cost of living, promote economic justice and build a business-friendly economy that attracts investment and supports every Nigerian.
“We are laying the foundation for a more sustainable future…together, we are creating a system where prosperity is shared, and no one is left behind,” Tinubu stated in his nationwide address to mark his second year in office today.
He framed these efforts as building blocks for a “more sustainable future” and thanked Nigerians for their unwavering support.
In commending Nigerians for their steadfastness through two turbulent years, he said their support had been vital to confronting inherited challenges head-on.
“Fellow Nigerians, as we mark the second anniversary of our administration, I salute your resilience and undaunted spirit.
“While my administration has implemented the reforms to restore and reinvigorate our economy and strengthen our social fabric as a strong and united country, I must thank my fellow citizens for your unrelenting support and belief in the grand vision we share to uplift our nation and renew our collective hopes and aspirations.
“Two years ago, you entrusted me with the sacred responsibility to lead our nation at a time of historic challenges. Together, we have faced these headwinds with courage and determination. The economic and general situation of the country I inherited required that we redirect the country’s affairs with a bold and new vision. I immediately implemented two necessary policies to stop our country from further drifting into the precipice,” he noted.
The President argued that if the Federal Government and the other two tiers of government were to remain viable and cater to the citizens’ welfare, it must do away with decades-long fuel subsidies and the corruption-ridden multiple foreign exchange windows.
“The two were no longer sustainable and have become a chokehold on our nation’s neck, strangling our nation’s future,” he argued.
He reminded citizens that the administration is at the halfway mark of its mandate and reaffirmed that the economic turnaround is well underway.
