President Bola Tinubu is fully aware of the economic hardships facing Nigerians, according to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume. Speaking at Pastor Tunde Bakare’s 70th birthday service in Lagos, Akume assured attendees that Tinubu understands the difficult conditions but remains committed to steering Nigeria toward recovery.

Government Committed to Economic Progress

Akume highlighted Tinubu’s commitment to finding solutions for the country’s economic challenges, even though progress may not be immediate. He stated, “The President acknowledges that times are hard, but at the end of the tunnel, there is always light.” This message aims to reassure Nigerians that recent reforms are meant to build a stronger, more resilient economy.

Impact of Economic Reforms

The government’s recent measures, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the floating of the naira, have had significant effects on daily life, creating a challenging environment for many citizens. While the reforms have been difficult, the administration maintains that they are necessary steps for long-term growth, reflecting Tinubu’s vision for an economically stable Nigeria.

Pastor Bakare Celebrated as Advocate for Justice

During the service, Tinubu, represented by Akume, also praised Pastor Bakare’s commitment to justice, calling him a beacon of hope and a voice for the voiceless. The President’s tribute to Bakare recognised his dedication to principles of integrity and fairness, values that have earned him national respect.

Political and Spiritual Leaders Honour Bakare

The event, attended by notable figures, including the Governors of Lagos and Ogun states, provided an opportunity for leaders to celebrate Bakare’s influence. His role as a spiritual guide and advocate for truth, they noted, has left an enduring impact on Nigerian society.

A Testament to Bakare’s Legacy

Reflecting on Bakare’s service, Akume remarked on his lifelong commitment to uplifting society through fearless advocacy and dedication. Tinubu’s words underscored the importance of leaders who, like Bakare, strive to bring about positive change, both in religious and public spheres.
