Progress Amid Challenges
President Bola Tinubu has expressed confidence in the positive transformation underway in Nigeria, particularly in the areas of economic recovery and security. Speaking at the graduation ceremony for the Executive Intelligence Management Course 17 at the National Institute for Security Studies in Abuja, Tinubu, represented by National Security Advisor Nuhu Ribadu, highlighted ongoing efforts to address the nation’s challenges. He assured Nigerians that better days lie ahead despite the difficulties.
Economic Reforms Taking Shape
Addressing the current economic state, Tinubu acknowledged the complexities of the situation but emphasised ongoing progress. “The economy is changing. The challenges are tough and immense, but I can assure you, brighter days are on the horizon,” he said. Tinubu reiterated his administration’s commitment to implementing reforms aimed at stabilising and growing the economy.
Commitment to National Security
On security, Tinubu reaffirmed his administration’s dedication to safeguarding the country. He issued a stern warning to bad actors, stating that justice would prevail against those threatening Nigeria’s stability. “If you are a bad man, whether inside or outside Nigeria, you are in trouble. We will bring you to justice,” he declared.
Challenges with Tax Reforms
Tinubu’s remarks also touched on the ongoing debate over the Tax Reform Bills, which have faced opposition from various quarters. Babangida Aliyu, former governor of Niger State, criticised the lack of understanding surrounding the bills. He urged the government to communicate better with citizens to explain the reforms’ benefits and address misconceptions.
Call for Unity in Security
Meanwhile, Director-General of the Department of State Services, Adéọlá Àjàyí, praised Tinubu’s leadership in fostering collaboration among security agencies. Àjàyí stated that the synergy among agencies would soon ensure that Nigerians could enjoy peace and stability. “Together, we can overcome any security challenges if we work in unison,” he said.
