Be Patient A Little More– Tinubu To Nigerians
Economic reforms could be slow. Be patient a little more
President Bola Tinubu has called for the patience and understanding of Nigerians, particularly the youths, assuring them that the hardships of the moment will eventually give way to a more prosperous, equitable and inclusive economy.
Tinubu who gave the assurance at the State House while receiving All Progressives Congress (APC) National Youth Leaders from across the 36 States of the federation and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
This is contained in a statement on Thursday, July 27, by the Special Adviser to the President (Special Duties, Communications and Strategy) Dele Alake, who said the President told the youths that his administration would include them in governance, and decision-making processes, adding that “no decision would be too difficult for his administration to take for the prosperity and unity of the nation.’’
According to Tinubu, “I make my pledge to the country that no decision will be difficult for this administration to take for the prosperity and unity of this country. Economic reforms could be slow. Be patient a little more.”
“I can assure you that I understand the pains you are going through. It is not easy to get out the monster of over 40 years called fuel subsidy,” he added.
The President noted that his administration would do everything necessary to widen the net to accommodate more women and youths.
According to him, this will be done, among others, by ‘liaising with our lending institutions to give micro-loans at a very low-interest rate’ for economic activities among the citizens.
