Tinubu pledges continued economic reforms, citizens empowerment
President Bola Tinubu says his administration will sustain ongoing economic reforms, with stronger focus on inclusion and citizen empowerment to deepen prosperity.
This is contained in a statement issued by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, on Monday.
Mr Onanuga said Mr Tinubu spoke in Yola during a one-day official visit to Adamawa, where he inaugurated projects executed by the state government.
He said the reforms were yielding results nationwide, with major transformations in education, health and infrastructure.
“That is the consequence of us working together, and we will achieve more macroeconomic successes,” the president said.
“We are investing heavily in agriculture and human capital development. We must be able to feed ourselves and feed the country.”
Mr Tinubu said the solidarity between the federal government and states was encouraging, and urged governors to continue carrying the people along.
The president said improved economic policies had enabled higher allocations to states to execute projects that directly impact livelihoods.
He commended Governor Umaru Fintiri for using the allocations to build roads and educational institutions across the state.
“You’re reflecting the true commitment of a government of the people, by the people and for the people,” he said.
Mr Tinubu said the eight-lane road, underpass and modern high court inaugurated in the state would ease mobility, stimulate commerce and strengthen justice delivery.
He urged state governments to invest more in the fight against poverty, particularly by improving the quality of education for children.
The president also thanked traditional rulers and religious leaders for promoting peace and harmony, and praised the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, for “excellent” leadership.
Mr Fintiri thanked Mr Tinubu for visiting the state to commission projects, including a model school built across the 21 local government areas at a cost of N24.8 billion.
He said the Galadima Aminu Road expansion with bridge and underpass cost N15.6 billion, while the remodelled High Court complex cost N5.5 billion.
Five governors attended the event, alongside ministers and other top government officials.
