President Bola Tinubu affirmed on Thursday his commitment to continuing the reforms currently underway in the nation, despite facing significant backlash.
Amidst widespread criticism for eliminating fuel subsidies and implementing policies aimed at bolstering the naira—actions blamed for exacerbating the country’s economic difficulties—Tinubu’s administration stands firm.
In a statement released by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, it was disclosed that President Tinubu expressed his unwavering resolve to a visiting delegation from the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA), led by its President and CEO, Florizelle Liser, at the State House in Abuja.
Tinubu emphasized to the group his determination to see through his vision for Nigeria, insisting on carrying out essential economic reforms that would encourage business development and generate investment opportunities in alignment with the nation’s demographic expansion.
He remarked, “I am pleased that the Council shows interest in various sectors of Nigeria’s economy. We are currently navigating a difficult phase of our reforms. Despite facing strong headwinds, we have no intention of reversing course.
“We acknowledge the hurdles before us, yet we remain optimistic about overcoming these challenges. My resolve is unyielding, and it’s imperative that this resolve transforms into action. With a capable team at our disposal, our focus is unwavering in achieving our objectives.”
