…Commissions projects across regions
President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the economic hardship and sacrifices resulting from his administration’s reforms will eventually produce lasting benefits for the country.
Speaking in his third anniversary message to Nigerians yesterday, Tinubu acknowledged the difficult economic conditions many citizens have faced since the implementation of key reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidy and changes in the foreign exchange system. “I remain deeply conscious of those sacrifices, and I assure you: your sacrifice has not been in vain”, the President said.
Tinubu explained that the reforms were necessary to stabilise the nation’s economy and prevent a more severe financial crisis. According to him, the measures have helped block major financial leakages linked to fuel subsidies and foreign exchange arbitrage, while also improving investor confidence and strengthening public finances.
The President admitted that the rising cost of living has placed enormous pressure on families, workers, youths and businesses across the country. Despite the challenges, he insisted that the government was laying the foundation for long-term national recovery and sustainable growth.
Tinubu also highlighted progress made in critical sectors such as infrastructure, education, housing, oil and gas, telecommunications and security, describing them as signs that the country was gradually moving forward.
He urged Nigerians to remain patient, united and hopeful as the administration continues to implement its economic agenda. “We have not solved every problem, and we are not yet where we want to be. But the foundation for recovery has been laid”, he stressed.
The President has also announced the commissioning of over twenty groups of projects across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones to mark the third anniversary of his administration. The infrastructure projects span the energy, health, enterprise, education, and public works sectors.
