My Govt Has Reversed Nigeria’s Problems – Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has asserted that his administration has reversed the problems it met when it took over power in 2023.

Tinubu acknowledged the difficulties encountered at the onset of his administration, particularly in the economic and social spheres.

He reaffirmed that his administration has made progress in reversing negative trends and thanked Nigerians for their united support in effecting positive change.

The President articulated the reasoning behind his government’s economic reforms, emphasizing that the main goal is to safeguard the interests of future generations.

Tinubu stated this in a communique released by his spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga.

According to Onanuga, the President made these remarks on Thursday at the State House in Abuja while welcoming a group of former National Assembly colleagues from the defunct Third Republic, during which he served as a Senator for Lagos West.

Tinubu pointed out that for the past 50 years, Nigeria has been utilizing the resources of future generations to support the West African region with fuel, making it increasingly challenging to plan for the future of the nation’s children.

He expressed gratitude for the delegation’s assistance in tackling these challenges.

“We faced serious headwinds when I took over, very challenging times. Nigeria would have been bankrupt if we had not taken the actions that we took, and we had to prevent the economy’s collapse.

“Today, we are sitting pretty on a good foundation. We have reversed the problem; the Exchange rate is stabilising. Food prices are coming down, especially during Ramadan. We will have light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.

He reiterated that firm adherence to democratic tenets is the best route to economic, social, and political development.

“I am happy that you are holding to your belief in democracy. I thank you for keeping faith and remembering how we started. Some people missed the ball. Some leadership failed, but we kept the faith with our democratic beliefs and freedom and the right to aspire to the highest office in the land. I am benefiting from it,” Tinubu added.
