Nigerians have been urged to exercise patience with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
This call came from the Minister of Women Affairs, Mrs. Uju Kennedy Ohanenye.
She spoke during a humanitarian event in Awka, Anambra State, where she distributed supplies to assist the underprivileged.
The minister gave away 5,000 bags of 10 kg rice, 300 gas cylinders, and 500 bags of 50 kg fertilizer.
These efforts are aimed at easing the hardships faced by vulnerable families in the community.
Ohanenye acknowledged the tough situation many Nigerians are currently experiencing.
She emphasized that it will take time for the government to make real improvements in the country.
Ohanenye expressed her belief in Tinubu’s ability to govern.
She showed her commitment to improving the nation during her speech.
“I beg you to be patient with the president,” she said.
“He is making every effort to alter the detrimental behaviors that have severely damaged the country’s economy.”
Ohanenye asked Nigerians to give the president some time.
She believes that changes will start to show in the upcoming months.
“He needs time to tidy up the mess that the last government left behind,” she explained.
“To be honest, things weren’t good before President Tinubu came into office, and he is making a lot of effort to make Nigerians happy.”
The Minister highlighted the efforts of the Tinubu-led government.
She mentioned the various social security programs that have been implemented to assist Nigerians, especially the underprivileged.
These programs aim to improve the lives of those in need.
Ohanenye also urged Nigerians to submit their Bank Verification Numbers (BVN).
This will help the government plan effectively and provide support to those in need.
The BVN system helps identify individuals who qualify for federal social security benefits.
The goal is to assist the impoverished, who have historically struggled to access these resources.
“The charity is for the poor, not the wealthy,” she stressed.
