President Tinubu said that on Tuesday the brave economic reform of his government produced positive results, stabilized the economy, and restored the global image and the trust of Nigerian investors.
The President, according to a statement issued on Wednesday by a special advisor about information and strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made a statement when His Majesty Empire, Oba Ghandi Olaoye (Orumogege III), Soun of Ogbomosoland, and other royal father visited him at the country’s home, Abuja.
He said: “For years of neglect and self-fraud, fake notes, smuggling, and other dangerous practices denied Nigeria income needed for development.
“We are also faced with a currency arbitration, fake trade, and widespread corruption. Our economic integrity and our country are very challenged.”
He said the difficult decision must be made and thanked the Nigerians for their patience and support.
“With your prayer, perseverance, and understanding, I can say today that the economy is stable.
“Bleeding has stopped. Bleeding is lost. Patients are still alive,” added President Tinubu.
He emphasized his commitment to access inclusive to education and highlight the creation of Nigerian education loan funds (Nelfund), which ensured that no students were out of poverty.
