“Nigerians should be patient with Tinubu to address insecurity, bad economy” – FG speaks amidst outcry
The Federal Government is requesting Nigerians to exercise patience with President Bola Tinubu as he addresses the nation’s escalating economic and security challenges.
During an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris Malagi, shared his thoughts on the matter.
The speaker urged Nigerians to exhibit patience towards the reforms implemented by the Bola Tinubu government, assuring them that these reforms will eventually bear positive results.
Malagi reassured that the government is fully aware of the hardships Nigerians are currently facing due to the removal of fuel subsidies. He emphasized that the government is working tirelessly to address this issue and bring about positive change.
He said: “I want you to remember that the President is seven months old in office. I am not going to make excuses that seven months is just a short time.
“But for a long-term plan, you need a lot more time to put structures. But of course, as you trudge along, there will be shocks, turbulence, and occasional dislocations that you would find. But the vision of the President is very clear: he wants to take Nigeria to the desired prosperity.
“He works day and night to achieve that. Every day, all the ministers and everyone are working in that direction but the results are not seen yet. We ask Nigerians to be a little more patient.”
Malagi said the government had, in the wake of the subsidy removal introduced some measures to curtail the impact of the move.
He listed some of them to include the wage awards to Federal Government workers and plans to roll out CNG buses across the country.
