President Bola Tinubu says his administration is deploying resources to critical sectors and areas with significant impact on the welfare of Nigerians, emphasising that the nation’s treasury is sacrosanct and must not be abused.
Speaking at a meeting with the Forum of State Chairmen of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC), at the State House in Abuja on Friday, the President assured Nigerians that his government is working around the clock to improve their living conditions, and asked leaders at the grassroots level to encourage citizens to get their National Identification Number (NIN) for planning, structuring interventions and to achieve their full integration into various relief programmes.
The President said, “The programme of our Government will be truly progressive; student loans, a national consumer credit system, and social welfare for the unemployed, as well as graduates. Every Nigerian will find a place of belonging in our country. In the eye of even the biggest hurricane, we will find that place of tranquillity and prosperous harmony for the benefit of all. Nigerians will all partake on this national journey to prosperity”.
Emphasising the central role of agriculture in expanding and accelerating Nigeria’s economic growth, President Tinubu told the state party chairmen, led by the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje that his government had already drawn up a blueprint for large-scale livestock farming, which will be activated soon.
President Tinubu also emphasised that the repositioning of the economy is a top national priority, as he urged Party members not to wait for an appointment before bringing good governance and exemplary civic engagement to the doors of Nigerians.
APC National Chairman, Ganduje, said the Party is nearly set to establish the Progressive Institute of Policy and Development for the benefit of its members and the broader Nigerian public.
