President Bola Tinubu has announced that Nigeria’s global respect has now been restored.
Tinubu declared that Nigeria’s global respect was restored thanks to his administration’s economic reforms.
Speaking at the State House during a meeting with His Imperial Majesty, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Oladunni Olaoye, the Soun of Ogbomosoland, Tinubu said that his policies have stabilized the economy and attracted international interest.
Tinubu emphasized that years of neglect, corruption, and mismanagement had previously hindered Nigeria’s progress.
He said: “Years of neglect and self-deception, fake records, smuggling, and all of that denied Nigeria the necessary revenue for progress and development.
“Then we were confronted again with arbitrage trading of currency, an illusion of selling papers, corruption all over the place, and the integrity of the country and its economy being significantly and adversely challenged.
“We had to take those actions [reforms]. With your prayers, patience, perseverance, and great understanding, I’m glad to tell you today that the economy is stabilised. The bleeding has stopped. Haemorrhage is gone; the patient is alive.”
Speaking further, Tinubu said his administration has made investments in education, establishing the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFund) to ensure that indigent Nigerians can attend school.
Tinubu described education as the “greatest weapon you can give to human beings against poverty”.
“That’s what we are doing. We have remained aggressive on our infrastructure. And it’s just two years,” the president added.
