President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday hailed significant strides in Nigeria’s economic recovery, assuring citizens that the country has been saved from the brink of financial collapse.
In a statement made available to The News Chronicle by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Tinubu spoke while hosting religious and traditional leaders for an interfaith Ramadan breaking of the fast at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“I am just one person among millions, grateful for the opportunity to serve. The economy has turned the corner. Pensioners are receiving relief gradually, and we have saved Nigeria from bankruptcy. No governor is running to banks to pay salaries anymore,” President Tinubu said.
The President highlighted that fiscal discipline, strategic investments, and prudent management have restored stability to the nation’s finances, emphasizing that Nigeria is now on a trajectory of growth and prosperity.
Tinubu also pledged to intensify investments in critical sectors such as agriculture and education, which he said would secure long-term economic stability and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
“Our focus is to sustain growth, protect jobs, and expand opportunities across the country. Nigerians should remain hopeful: we are building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous nation for all,” he added.
Religious and community leaders, including the Etsu Nupe, Yahaya Abubakar, and Archbishop Daniel Okoh of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), praised the President’s commitment to economic reforms and pledged their support for initiatives aimed at boosting security and prosperity.
Traditional rulers and religious leaders from all six geopolitical zones attended the event, reinforcing a message of national unity and confidence in the administration’s economic agenda.
