Be Patient, Tough Economic Choices Are For A Better Future, Tinubu Tells APC Youth Leaders

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has called for the patience and understanding of Nigerians, particularly the youth, assuring them that the hardships of the moment will eventually give way for a more prosperous, equitable and inclusive economy.

The President, who gave the assurance Thursday at the State House, Abuja while receiving All Progressives Congress (APC) National Youth Leaders from across the 36 States of the federation and Federal Capital Territory, Abuja said “I make my pledge to the country that no decision will be difficult for this administration to take for the prosperity and unity of this country. Economic reforms could be slow. Be patient a little more,’ he said.

“I can assure you that I understand the pains you are going through. It is not easy to get out the monster of over 40 years called fuel subsidy.’’

President Tinubu told the youths that his administration would include them in governance, and decision-making processes, adding that “no decision would be too difficult for his administration to take for the prosperity and unity of the nation.’’

The President said he feels the pains Nigerian citizens are currently going through.

He noted that his administration would do everything necessary to widen the net in order to accommodate more women and youths.

According to him, this will be done, among others, by ‘liaising with our lending institutions to give micro loans at a very low interest rate’ for economic activities among the citizens.

Earlier in his remarks, APC National Youth Leader, Hon. Abdullahi Dayo Israel, told the President that, as representatives of all the youth organs of the party, they had come to congratulate him on the party’s victory at the polls and seek inclusion in appointments into the dissolved boards and agencies of government.
