President Bola Tinubu has urged Nigerians to be patient as his administration’s tough policy decisions are set to bring relief and improve the economic situation in the nation.
Speaking at the Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Lagos, President Tinubu who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, reiterated his administration’s commitment to promoting the rule of law, adhering to the principles of separation of powers, and tolerating dissenting views within the legal framework of the country. He emphasized that the challenging decisions made were necessary for transformative changes and promised that these would soon yield positive outcomes for the populace.
The President praised the NBA’s long-standing role in championing democratic ideals and the rule of law, aligning these principles with his administration’s objectives. Tinubu’s address highlighted the difficult but necessary path his government has embarked on to amend longstanding issues and inefficiencies.
He said;
“Let me reassure you all that this administration will continue to promote the rule of law, adherence to the principles of separation of powers and tolerance of dissent within the bounds of the law.
“While I acknowledge the temporal existence of some daunting challenges besetting us as a nation, I would like to urge you all not to adopt a defeatist approach; rather, we should remain resolute in working for a country of our dreams.
“It is obvious that Nigeria as a nation cannot continue to sojourn on the trajectory of the past if we must be assured of sustainable development; hence, the need to sanitize the Augean stable and chart a proper course of rebuilding the nation.
“I acknowledge that altering the status quo requires difficult decisions and changes, which also inevitably come with hard outcomes. However, I am confident that this is a passing phase and our policies and actions, as an administration, are bound to usher in relief in no distant time.”
