President Bola Tinubu, on Friday, reassured that no stone would be left unturned in his administration’s efforts to stimulate the economy and make it work for the good of all Nigerians.

The President stated this at a meeting with the board of trustees of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC) professionals forum led by former Bauchi State Governor, Isa Yuguda, in Abuja.

“This economy must recover for the good and greatest number of Nigerians, and we are seriously committed to seeing through a change for the better,” he said.

To steadily ensure growth and enhanced public enlightenment on policy outcomes, Mr Tinubu said every effort across sectors would be documented and periodically reviewed for performance verification and public presentation.

“So far, we have taken some baby steps and pushed some aggressive positions,” the President said.

The APC professionals also pledged their support for his reforms.

While thanking Mr Tinubu for his bold interventions on the economy, Mr Yuguda said more than two million people had been registered as professionals in different fields since 2018 and were ready to provide structures for mobilisation and sensitidation of Nigerians on government policies.

“Foreign capital is a coward that does not move into unsafe areas, so with your successful interventions so far, we look forward to better security that will attract investors,” Mr Yuguda said.
