President Bola Tinubu has promised to do everything he can to help Nigerians with their economic problems, especially the rising cost of living. In his speech for the 64th anniversary of the country’s independence, the president promised to end the current problems by taking smart steps that will make it easier for people to pay their bills. He told the people of Nigeria that his government was committed to improving their lives and making sure that everyone could still get the things they needed. Many people are worried about the economy, so Tinubu’s promise comes at a very bad time for many people who are already having a hard time making ends meet.
In his speech, President Tinubu talked about the problems the country was having. He said that a lot of these problems were caused by global economic trends, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and problems in international supply lines. He said that these things have made inflation much worse, which has caused prices of food, transportation, and other necessities to go up. It was made clear by Tinubu, though, that his government is not doing nothing. Instead, they are putting in place policies that will bring about long-lasting change.
The President announced a number of new plans, one of which is the creation of tailored subsidies to lower the prices of things like food and fuel. Tinubu made it clear that these handouts are not a return to the old system of giving money to everyone, but are instead meant to help those who need it the most. The President said that his government is committed to making sure that these handouts are given out in a clear way so that they help the people who are supposed to get them and make their lives easier.
In addition, Tinubu said that his government is focussing on creating jobs as a key way to raise people’s living standards. He said again that unemployment is still one of the main reasons why the economy is bad and that giving people work will give them the power to support themselves and their families. The government and the business sector are going to work together to make jobs available, especially for young people who have been hit hard by the current economic situation. The President said that new rules will support business growth, investment, and new ideas, all of which are important for a strong economy.
President Tinubu also stressed that his government is dedicated to enhancing the country’s infrastructure, as this is seen as a key part of lowering the cost of living. Investing in roads, energy, and transportation systems, he said, would lower the cost of moving things across the country. This, in turn, would make prices lower for consumers. Tinubu said that lowering the cost of transportation is a key way to keep prices stable and make sure that everyone can buy basic goods.
Tinubu also talked about the problem of rising energy rates, recognising that a lot of Nigerians are having a hard time with it. He said he would make changes to the power sector that would not only make it easier for Nigerians to get energy, but also lower their costs. As part of these reforms, money will be put into renewable energy sources and the national grid will be expanded so that people in both cities and rural areas can depend on their power. Tinubu said that a better power supply is necessary for businesses to lower their production costs, which will eventually mean lower prices for customers.
Food prices have gone up a lot in the past few months, so the President also said that agricultural development will be a top concern. Tinubu said that his government is working on giving farmers benefits like easy access to fertilisers, seeds, and low-cost loans. Tinubu wants to make more food available and less reliant on imports by increasing agricultural output. This will lower the cost of staple foods. He promised Nigerians that these steps would be taken to make sure there was enough food and that basic needs were cheap.
At the end of his speech, President Tinubu asked Nigerians to stick together and not give up. He acknowledged that people are having a hard time, but he told everyone to keep their hope because his government is working hard to help people and make the economy stronger. Tinubu’s promise to lower the cost of living and end hardship shows that his government is aware of the problems Nigerians face every day and wants to find long-term answers. People all over the country were reassured by the President that the government’s efforts would soon pay off, giving people much-needed comfort.
