President BOLA TINUBU has pleaded with Nigerians to be patient with his administration, assuring them that the country is transitioning from darkness to dawn.

In an official video released by the State House yesterday, TINUBU acknowledged the country’s ongoing hardships due to the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira.

He noted that Nigerians’ pain was compounded by what he described as an avoidable lag between the subsidy removal and his good and helpful plans for the country.

The president assured that the measures his government has taken would get the country out of the lingering economic crisis, urging Nigerians to have faith in his administration.

Also, the Federal government has said that the President BOLA TINUBU administration’s primary focus is not to impose hardship on Nigerians but to correct poor policies and dysfunctional choices that have historically hindered Nigeria’s progress, with bold and effective solutions.

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, MOHAMMED IDRIS stated this in Abuja, while briefing the Diplomatic Community on the recent nationwide protest at a meeting held in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

He said President TINUBU is determined to implement reforms that would drive sustainable growth and improve the quality of life for all citizens, stressing that the current challenges are only temporary

The Minister said for decades, the costly, wasteful and unsustainable fuel subsidy regime had denied Nigeria the opportunity to invest in critical infrastructure, social service, and the welfare of its citizens.

He noted that the President took a very painful decision to abolish the fuel subsidy and redirect the funds towards critical sectors such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and security, which directly impact citizens’ well-being and the development of the country.
