President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the country’s economy is now on the path to recovery and that citizens will soon begin to feel the benefits of his administration’s reforms.
Speaking on Tuesday in Owerri, the capital of Imo State, Tinubu said the economy has “turned a corner” and urged Nigerians to remain patient and hopeful.
“Nigeria’s economy just turned a corner, and you will receive prosperity,” the President said. “Those talking negative of this country should stop saying so. Just be patient. All Nigerians will feel the prosperity in due time. Don’t be corrupt.”
Tinubu’s remarks come amid widespread economic hardship, high inflation, and rising cost of living across the country. Since the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the exchange rate, many Nigerians have struggled with increased prices of goods and services.
Despite the challenges, the President maintained that his administration is laying the foundation for long-term growth, stability, and prosperity.
This is not the first time President Tinubu has expressed confidence in the direction of the economy. At the recent coronation of Oba Rasheed Ladoja as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadan, he stated that there was now “light at the end of the tunnel” and that Nigeria’s economy is beginning to witness growth.
Tinubu urged citizens to avoid corruption and support government efforts to rebuild the economy, stressing that real change takes time.
While some Nigerians have welcomed the President’s message of hope, others remain skeptical due to the daily struggles they continue to face. Unemployment, insecurity, and high food prices remain major concerns for many households.
President Tinubu has consistently promised that his policies, though tough in the short term, are aimed at building a stronger and more self-reliant Nigeria. With the new economic direction, many Nigerians now watch closely to see if the promised “corner” truly leads to prosperity.
