In the past months, Nigerians have continued to get promises of an end to hardship. But the prices of goods and services have continued to do just one thing – rise.
Again, President Bola Tinubu is saying that “things are turning around soon”. Will Nigerians see the manifestation of such a statement soon?
When the fuel subsidy was removed, we all felt it, so also, we want to feel the impact of this statement.
But Present Bola Tinubu claims Nigerians will smile once again, insisting that things are turning around economically for Nigeria.
This was what President Bola Tinubu told service chiefs and ministers at the Banquet Hall of the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.

He said the coming months are going to be better than the past few ones because the economy is taking a new turn.
Mr President observed that some nations have undergone worse economic experiences than Nigeria had in the past few months.
The Economy Is Improving
Tinubu, who was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, gave this assurance while hosting ministers, and service chiefs for a Ramadan Iftar (breaking of fast).
He said: “Luckily, the economy is turning the corner.
By the grace of God, in the coming months, we will have a bountiful harvest season and we shall all smile once again.
“Honourable ministers, service chiefs, distinguished ladies and gentlemen, we have crossed the Rubicon and the nation is on its path to sustained growth.
Some nations have gone through worse cases in the annals of their history than us.
“The President is working for this nation.
“He has a good heart for the nation and we have the moral duty to support him in whatever way we can to salvage the nation”.
Tinubu Tasks Nigerians To Pray More
Describing Ramadan as a season of forgiveness and generosity, Tinubu called for prayers for the “restoration of peace and stability in the country”.
He said the overlap of Lent and Ramadan “buttresses the fact that what binds us together exceeds what separates us.”
The Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, reacting, assured the President of their support in ensuring the nation’s success.
