President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians of economic turnover, stressing that the course of country has now changed from reforms to prosperity.
Tinubu held that has passed through what he described as it’s own Red Sea with his administration now committed to sharing widespread prosperity across the country.
The President made this known during a nationwide broadcast message delivered on Thursday to mark the 66th Independence Day anniversary.
Tinubu declared that the country’s economic foundation has been repaired with a new purpose of sharing prosperity.
‘Nigeria has corrected its course. We have passed through our own Red Sea.
‘This is not the time to look back. Let us go forward together, with faith in ourselves, faith in our country, and faith that the sacrifices we have made will yield their reward.
‘The emergency treatment is over. The foundation has been repaired.
‘The central economic task before us has changed. For three years, our overriding purpose was to correct our nation’s course.
‘Now, our purpose is simple: shared and widespread prosperity.’ He said.
Meanwhile, Tinubu noted that the prosperity transcended beyond larger economy but will also reflect in the productivity of farmers, manufacturing industries, and businesses.
‘When I speak of prosperity, I do not speak merely of a larger economy, abstract numbers or better statistics. I mean something much more personal.
‘I mean a Nigeria in which the farmer can cultivate his land safely, produce more at lower cost, and earn a decent return for his labour.
‘A Nigeria in which factories have reliable power, businesses can obtain credit, and young people can find productive work.
‘A Nigeria in which food and transportation are affordable, education is within reach, and hard-working families can look towards the future with confidence.
‘This is the promise we must now fulfil.’ He said.
Tinubu reiterated that the country’s prosperous destination is in sight with the direction towrds achieving it now clear.
‘The Promised Land before us is a Nigeria of abundance and opportunity; a nation where prosperity is broadly shared, where every child can dream beyond the circumstances of his birth, and where our country’s immense promise is finally reflected in the lives of our people.
‘Our destination is in sight. Our foundations are strong. Our direction is clear. So let us go forward. No looking back.’ He added.
