President Bola Tinubu on Thursday defended his administration’s economic reforms, stating that they were essential to securing Nigeria’s future and averting financial collapse.
Speaking at the State House in Abuja while receiving a delegation of his former National Assembly colleagues from the aborted Third Republic, Tinubu emphasized the need for bold action to correct decades of unsustainable fiscal policies.
“For 50 years, Nigeria was spending the money of generations yet unborn while also servicing the West African subregion with fuel. It was becoming increasingly difficult to plan for our children’s future,” the president said.
