Nigerians have been reassured by President Bola Tinubu that his administration continues to place a high premium on the welfare of the populace. He revealed that before leaving his house each morning, he reads about events in the nation. At the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu made this statement to senior journalists and media executives during an interfaith breaking of fast. He claimed that at the start of his administration, he was a little obstinate.
Additionally, the president said that his administration has embraced true federalism to the point where local governments now receive direct funding from the federal government. “I never leave my house in the morning without going through the newspapers,” he remarked. It’s an addiction.
I read every single one of you.”The headline, the one that would hit me and the ones that won’t, might not be in complete detail. “I was a little bit stubborn at the start of this administration, looking for opportunities to correct things and make life easier for the downtrodden.”Tinubu, meanwhile, has said that it is everyone’s duty to improve Nigeria.
He urged the media to hold state and municipal governments accountable, arguing that the federal government cannot be solely responsible for the nation’s progress. When the President hosted media executives and business owners at the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday, he made this statement.
Tinubu asked the media to scrutinise municipal and state governments to the same extent that they do his government, citing greater financial autonomy for the lower levels of government. The concept of federalism has been expanded to the point where local governments are now receiving funding.However, it is up to you how they use it,” Tinubu stated.
Therefore, don’t only attack me; consider the local government as well.Yes, we can grumble that it’s insufficient and that we’re not in the right place. But in order to survive today, endure tomorrow, and advance, we must manage what we have. “No state is borrowing today to pay employee salaries,” he declared to the assembly. Indeed, we can lament that it is insufficient. We might bemoan the fact that we are not where we need to be, but we must manage what we have in order to live today, endure tomorrow, and advance,” he continued.
The former governor of Lagos State reaffirmed his dedication to carrying out his duties. “And I assure you that the work I continue to perform is devoted to improving Nigeria out of patriotism. It’s our joint obligation; it’s all in our hands,” he stated.
