President Bola Tinubu has said that his administration is “retooling” the country’s financial system to ease its economic difficulties, noting that it has been “a very challenging time for us in the country.”
President Tinubu said when he commissioned the Guzape Lot II Infrastructure Project in Abuja on Saturday, disclosing that he is not blind to the economic challenges confronting Nigeria.
“Up till now, we are still retooling and rejigging our financial system to bring prosperity and relief to the people of this country,” Mr Tinubu stated, adding that the completion of the project was a testament to what could be achieved through “diligent planning, collaboration and shared commitment to excellence”.
The President commended the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mr Nyesom Wike, for delivering on the infrastructure renewal promises of the Federal Government to the people of the FCT.
“Nyesom Wike, you have provided exceptional leadership at a trying time for the country,” Tinubu said. “You’ve (Wike) demonstrated the capacity to build a team, to lead a team and to deliver on promises. I commend you. Well done,” he said, urging the stakeholders in the FCT to pursue dialogue and not litigation to resolve land disputes.
“To all of you here and the district head of Guzape or representing the district head, litigation is not the answer, conversation is the answer,” Tinubu said.
“Development that is focused on the people for the economic prosperity, the benefit of all, is what should reside in us.
“Of what value is the land that is blocked by these high mountains and rocks that you cannot access, nor provide drinkable water?” the President queried.
“It’s not a personal thing. I stand here as the President. I don’t have a plot here but I have the people’s support and the mandate to deliver a good quality of life and living environment. That should be enough for all of us to share in the joy of commitment, dedication, perseverance, and the gifts that God has endowed us with.”
The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; and the FCT Minister of State, Mariya Mahmoud; among other dignitaries were also at the event………..Sée Móre
