President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reiterated his administration’s unwavering commitment to reviving Nigeria’s economy in a meeting held at the State House with the Board of Trustees of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) Professionals Forum. The President emphasized that his priority is to ensure the economic recovery benefits the greatest number of Nigerians, while highlighting the need for measured growth and transparent policy outcomes.
President Tinubu, joined by former Bauchi State Governor Mallam Isa Yuguda and other members of the APC Professionals Forum, discussed strategies to stimulate economic growth and create an environment conducive to foreign investment.
“This economy must recover for the good and greatest number of Nigerians, and we are seriously committed to seeing through a change for the better,” President Tinubu asserted.
Recognizing the importance of public awareness and accountability, President Tinubu expressed his intention to meticulously track progress across various sectors. He emphasized that efforts to stimulate economic growth would be documented, periodically reviewed for performance assessment, and presented to the public to ensure transparency.
“We have taken some baby steps and pushed some aggressive positions. It is essential that we maintain a focused approach, ensuring that our efforts yield meaningful results,” President Tinubu stated.
The APC Professionals Forum, led by former Governor Isa Yuguda, lauded President Tinubu’s proactive interventions aimed at stabilizing the economy. Yuguda noted that more than two million professionals have been registered in diverse fields since 2018 and are poised to contribute to the nation’s development by mobilizing and sensitizing the public about government policies.
Highlighting the crucial role of security in attracting foreign investment, Yuguda expressed optimism that President Tinubu’s interventions would create a safer environment that appeals to investors. “Foreign capital is a coward that does not move into unsafe areas, so with your successful interventions so far, we look forward to better security that will attract investors,” Yuguda added.
Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, conveyed that the President’s commitment to revitalizing the economy and ensuring its benefits are widespread reflects his dedication to improving the lives of Nigerians. As President Tinubu’s administration takes measured steps towards economic recovery, Nigerians are watching with anticipation for the tangible outcomes that will shape the nation’s future.
