Nigerians chose, trust me to revamp economy, defeat bandits, terrorists: Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu says he will continue to work toward a better Nigeria to justify the trust placed on him by electing him into office in February 2023.
The president, who stated this in a New Year message on Monday in Lagos, said that justifying that trust had been his burden in all his policies and programmes within and outside the country since he assumed office on May 29, 2023.
“It was a year you, the gracious people of this blessed nation, entrusted your faith in me with a clear mandate to make our country better, to revamp our economy, restore security within our borders and revitalise our floundering industrial sector.
“I am also expected to boost agricultural production, increase national productivity and set our country on an irreversible path towards national greatness that we and future generations will forever be proud of,” said the Nigerian leader.
He added, “The task of building a better nation and making sure we have a Nigerian society that cares for all her citizens is the reason I ran to become your president. It was the core of my ‘Renewed Hope’ campaign message on the basis of which you voted me as president.
“Everything I have done in office, every decision I have taken and every trip I have undertaken outside the shores of our land since I assumed office on 29 May 2023 have been done in the best interest of our country.
