President Bola Tinubu has expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic progress despite the tough challenges facing his administration and public disapproval from some quarters.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony for the executive intelligence management course 17 at the National Institute for Security Studies in Abuja, on Saturday, Tinubu, who was represented by the national security adviser Nuhu Ribadu, noted that the nation is undergoing significant transformation.
“Things are happening in our country today. People may not like us. They probably will disagree with one or two. But fundamentally, things are changing. And Nigeria will change,” he said.
The president acknowledged the challenges in the economy but assured Nigerians that better days are on the horizon. “The economy is changing. Very tough, very difficult, very huge challenges we are facing. But I can assure you, better days are ahead of us,” he added.
Tinubu also reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to national security and stability. He vowed to take decisive action against individuals with questionable character, whether they reside in Nigeria or abroad.
“If you are a bad man, whether you are inside Nigeria or outside, you are in trouble. We will go after you. We will bring you to justice,” he said.
