- President Tinubu pledges commitment to revitalizing Nigeria’s economy for the benefit of the majority, emphasizing measured growth and reforms
- Former Bauchi State Governor Isa Yuguda supports Tinubu’s economic interventions, highlighting the importance of improved security for attracting investors
President Bola Tinubu vowed on Friday to ensure that Nigeria’s economy recovers for the benefit of the greatest number of Nigerians.
He pledged at the presidential villa in Abuja during a meeting with the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Forum, led by former Bauchi State Governor Mallam Isa Yuguda.
He reassured Nigerians that his administration’s multifaceted efforts to stimulate the economy and make it work for the greater good of all Nigerians will leave no stone unturned.
The President stated:
This economy must recover for the good and greatest number of Nigerians, and we are seriously committed to seeing through a change for the better, he said.
President Tinubu said every effort across sectors would be documented and periodically reviewed for performance verification and public presentation to steadily ensure measured growth and enhanced public enlightenment on policy outcomes.
“So far, we have taken some baby steps and pushed some aggressive positions,” the President told the APC professionals, who had pledged their support for the reforms earlier.
While thanking President Tinubu for his bold economic interventions, the former Bauchi State Governor said more than two million people have been registered as professionals in different fields since 2018 and are ready to provide structures for mobilisation and sensitisation on government policies.
Foreign capital is a coward that does not move into unsafe areas, so with your successful interventions so far; we look forward to better security that will attract investors, Yuguda added.
Yuguda told reporters late that President Tinubu has reasons for nominating nine former governors to his cabinet.
Even though it was not the best choice, Tinubu believes they have something to contribute to the administration’s overall success.
