He emphasised the administration’s commitment to ensuring the benefits are felt by the citizens, noting that the nation’s reserves have been opened up and food distribution is actively underway.

“There is tremendous focus on food production. That is the key area to focus on now because the economy has been put on track. People must feel it and must feel it soon,” Edun said, underscoring the urgency and importance of tangible improvements in citizens’ daily lives”

Edun, while describing president Tinubu as “a man of the people and from the grassroots,” said he is fully aware of the needs of the people and is committed to ensuring that the economic turnaround translates into real benefits for all Nigerians.
