Tinubu said:

”Nigeria will survive the current economic challenges. There is light at the end of the tunnel. I requested the job, and I am not complaining about it. I take full responsibility.”We are meeting our obligations to the international community. To lenders, we have not defaulted, and we are not going to default. We are navigating the twists and bends on the road to Nigeria’s prosperity.”Furthermore, Tinubu said he acknowledged the understanding of all Nigerians at this difficult moment but assured them that their patience and perseverance will not be fruitless.

His words:

“The economic challenges we have endured since assuming office are not new to me. As the former governor of Lagos State, I faced similar calls for my resignation. But, through perseverance, Lagos emerged as the fifth largest economy in the entire continent of Africa. We must manage this moment with wisdom and grow Nigeria responsibly.“I campaigned for this office to serve Nigeria’s interests, and I was elected. Some said I would not last in the tribunal and came up with all sorts of predictions, but even when in court, I remained focused.“We cannot allow Nigeria’s economy to be exploited. We cannot abandon our economy to marauders. I am determined to re-engineer our finances and curb selfish interests permanently.”Read more about economic hardship in Nigeria:Hardship in Nigeria: NLC under fire for suspending strikeProtest rocks Edo state over hardship in Nigeria, videos surfaceAlleged N30bn intervention fund: States tackle Akpabio as Nigeria grapples with hardship10 key things NLC asked Tinubu to doLegit.ng earlier reported that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) submitted its letter of demand to the country’s authorities.
