President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering commitment to revitalizing Nigeria’s economy and ensuring its prosperity for the benefit of all citizens. The President made this assurance during a meeting with the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Professionals Forum, held at the State House in Abuja. The statement was relayed by Ajuri Ngelale, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.
President Tinubu emphasized that the nation’s economic recovery was a paramount objective, aiming to benefit a broad spectrum of Nigerians. He expressed his determination to bring about positive change and underscored the need for continuous and measured progress across various sectors. He 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.”
The President highlighted the importance of transparent accountability in his administration’s efforts to stimulate growth. To achieve this, he announced plans to document and periodically review efforts undertaken in various sectors to verify their performance and facilitate public awareness of policy outcomes.
Acknowledging the strides already taken, President Tinubu informed the APC Professionals Forum of the proactive measures his administration had implemented, referring to them as “baby steps” that have demonstrated his dedication to reform. The professionals, who pledged their support for these reforms, were led by former Bauchi State governor Isa Yuguda.
Yuguda, in turn, expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for his bold interventions in the economy. He highlighted that since 2018, over two million professionals from diverse fields had been registered, ready to contribute to the mobilization and sensitization efforts regarding government policies. Yuguda also emphasized the critical role of security in attracting foreign capital, stressing that successful interventions would result in improved security, thus fostering investor confidence.
The President’s commitment to economic reform and growth comes at a crucial time for Nigeria, with a focus on fostering sustainable development, attracting foreign investment, and creating an environment conducive to overall prosperity. The meeting with the APC Professionals Forum underscores President Tinubu’s determination to implement change and drive the nation’s economy toward a brighter future.
