The Nigerian people have been commended for their partnership and support for the measures being taken by President Bola Tinubu to reset the country’s economy.
Ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) gave the commendation in a statement marking the 100 days in office of the Asiwaju Tinubu as Nigeria’s president.
Recall that Tinubu while delivering his inaugural speech on May 29, pronounced the removal of the fuel subsidy through which the price of the product is now determined by the market forces.
The removal has also led to astronomical increase in the costs of petrol across the country with its attendant hardship necessitating the ongoing warning strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
However, the APC, in statement signed by Barr. Felix Morka, its National Publicity Secretary, thanked Nigerians “for their highly valued partnership and support as the President implements bold measures to reset the country’s economy for sustainable growth and beneficial development” as Tinubu clocks 100 days in office.
“Undeterred by daunting global trends and challenges, President Tinubu is deftly unknotting debilitating complex distortions and inefficiencies, and enacting people-centered policies encapsulated in the Renewed Hope Agenda geared towards expanding livelihood resources, promoting investment and growth opportunities, tackling insecurity and implementing targeted social intervention programs to cushion the difficult but transient impact of the administration’s essential policy reforms.
“This focused commitment has rekindled enthusiasm among the local business community and foreign investors who now see strong prospects of our country as a choice destination for investment,” Morka said in the statement.
The party then urged Nigerians to stand-fast in their support of the APC-led administration.
“We are confident that President Tinubu will spare no effort in his determination to radically remake the social, economic, security and material conditions of our country, and expand access to improved quality of life for all Nigerians,” the APC pledged.
