Tinubu: My Administration Will Address Nigeria’s Hardships, Provide More Palliatives For Nigerians


The President of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said that his administrative government will address the current economic hardships in Nigeria and continue to implement policies to ensure the growth of Nigeria.

In a Christmas address that was published on Sunday, President Tinubu also charged Nigerians that while they are celebrating the festive season, they should also pray for the members of the armed forces of Nigeria, as well as extend kindness to everyone around them.

The statement read, “This year has been a time of transformation and relentless change in our country. And I am aware that the necessary reforms we are implementing to achieve a more prosperous, peaceful nation for all have imposed unique sacrifices. 

“My administration will continue to implement palliative measures to ease the burden on the most vulnerable, address current hardships and alleviate the suffering of all our nation’s people.  

“Fellow Nigerians, as we navigate this transition to stability, prosperity, and Renewed Hope, I urge you once more to hold fast and rest assured of my commitment to govern with vision, dedication, and empathy.  

“Be confident that by the strength of our joint endeavour, we will shortly emerge into a new dawn of prosperity, peace, and irreversible progress.

“As you celebrate this season, please spare a moment of remembrance and prayer for the men and women of our nation’s armed forces, bearing arms in our names and ensuring our safety. My God protect them and bring them back to their families. 

“And let us together commemorate the memory of those who, in their service, have paid the highest price for our nation. May God bless their souls and comfort their families and loved ones. 

“Let the light of Christmas guide our paths as we bring this year to a close and usher in the new year,” he said.

The president then urged Nigerians to continue to look out for their neighbours during this season, as he said, “This is also a time to look out for each other because, amidst the festivities, this time of year for many will be tinged with sadness: some mourning the loss of loved ones and others grieving the hopes that failed to materialise and the dreams that fell short. 

“In the spirit of Christmas, reflecting the best of Christ, let us all endeavour to extend the warm embrace of kindness to those around us who need it and let the multiple acts of kindness serve as a light that guides us into a happy and wonderful new year.”
