President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has boasted that his administration’s economic reforms prevent Nigeria from break away.

According to the president, the primary motive of those reforms was to protect the interests of future generations.

Tinubu, who made while receiving a delegation of former National Assembly colleagues from the aborted Third Republic, during which he served as a Senator representing Lagos West at the State House in Abuja, described the move as sacrosanct.

The president explained that Nigeria for 50 years, was spending money of generations yet unborn and servicing the West coast of the nation’s subregion with fuel.

He added that it was getting difficult to plan for the future of Nigeria’s children.

According to him, some of the challenges faced at the beginning of his administration, particularly economic and social issues are becoming things of the past.

Tinubu said the administration had been able to stem the tide and expressed appreciation to Nigerians for their collective support in turning things around.

“We faced serious headwinds when I took over, very challenging times. Nigeria would have been bankrupt if we had not taken the actions that we took, and we had to prevent the economy’s collapse.

“Today, we are sitting pretty on a good foundation. We have reversed the problem; the Exchange rate is stabilising. Food prices are coming down, especially during Ramadan. We will have light at the end of the tunnel,” he said.

Tinubu reiterated that firm adherence to democratic tenets is the best route to economic, social, and political development.

“I am happy that you are holding to your belief in democracy. I thank you for keeping faith and remembering how we started. Some people missed the ball. Some leadership failed, but we kept the faith with our democratic beliefs and freedom and the right to aspire to the highest office in the land. I am benefiting from it,” he added.
