President Bola Tinubu says his administration remains undeterred in its pursuit of comprehensive economic security for the country , addressing foundational challenges and creating a fair and equitable system in which Nigerians can thrive.
He stated this while receiving leaders of Afenifere, the respected Yoruba Socio-Cultural Organisation, at the State House in Abuja.
The President said his administration was re-engineering Nigeria’s finances and seeking to boost the purchasing power of citizens to spread prosperity down the line, through the institution of a credit system where the element of cash would not impede a significantly enhanced standard of living for citizens.
He said Nigeria must secure herself economically first before she could achieve any of her more sophisticated objectives.
On security, the President declared that those who had been threatening the sovereignty of Nigeria would pay a heavy price.
The President thanked the delegation for their prayers and support, assuring them that he will not relent in his resolve to advance Nigeria.
Earlier, Oba Olu Falae commended the President for his courageous decisions and the rehabilitation of the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos, as well as other critical ongoing projects.
He urged the President not to relent in ensuring fairness and equity for all sections of Nigeria , while noting the importance of a constitutional amendment to devolve more powers to the states.
The delegation was led by Pa Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere, Oba Falae, and other eminent citizens.
