President Bola Tinubu emphasized his commitment to addressing Nigeria's socio-economic and security challenges, refraining from blaming past administrations during the Agric Mechanisation Revolution for Food Security launch in Minna. Despite criticism from some members of his cabinet attributing challenges to the previous administration, Tinubu expressed his focus on taking the right actions and implementing reforms for national progress. Noting the complexities Nigeria faces, including mass kidnappings, inflation, and a forex crisis, Tinubu urged perseverance and consistency for national greatness.
The Nigerian naira has experienced a significant decline in the past nine months, prompting reforms such as the revocation of licenses for over 4,000 Bureau de Change operators.
Tinubu encouraged Nigerians to turn challenges into economic opportunities, emphasizing the need to care for people and harness agricultural potential. Addressing the issue of open grazing, he pledged to end economic sabotage caused by herders and proposed a comprehensive program within two to three weeks.
Additionally, Tinubu mentioned the fine-tuning of initiatives like the Student Loan Programme and employment benefits for graduates to commence soon, reflecting his administration's commitment to addressing multifaceted challenges and fostering economic prosperity.
