You see Tinubu was never the favourite among Nigerians to become president but since he took the oath, he has been taking very difficult decisions.
Some say he is not fit others say his health is failing but he is still going. However, one thing that is glaring is Tinubu’s desire to see the nations economic rise again.
The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, has said that President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms has given investors great confidence in the economy.

“Many before you could not deal with fuel subsidies but you took the courageous decision alongside other important economic reforms.
And you took those decisions early in your term. It shows rare determination.
We noticed your stand in ECOWAS, all of these point to your commitment in leadership,” the Dutch P.M. stated.
Nigeria Can Provide High-grade Lithium For Clean Energy
President Tinubu explained that Nigeria was well-positioned to power the clean energy future of Europe and the world with its high-grade lithium deposits.
Tinubu said Nigeria offers opportunities across a pool of sectors and his administration is deepening reforms to enhance the investment climate.
He said Nigeria seeks robust, balanced, and mutually beneficial partnerships that will bring about value-addition in areas like solid minerals.
“Taking a holistic view of the world order, there is a tremendous opportunity between us across trade spheres but especially in solid minerals.
We have high-grade lithium deposits that we know can power the clean energy future of the world.
There is excellent value-additive opportunity in Nigeria. The world knows us for oil. They will soon know us for greater innovative exploits in other areas.
“We have an extremely dynamic youth population in Nigeria. It is a young country.
Over 70% of our population are under 30, and our 200 million plus citizens represents both a massive workforce and a massive market for international investors.
We Are A Better Nigeria For Our Youths
“If our young people know they can achieve a good future in Nigeria, they will stay at home and build our nation to greatness.
Lawful migration of trained Nigerian minds and hands will benefit Europe, and irregular migration will no longer be a source of fear in Europe if we partner effectively.
“This is what we want and it is why we are adamant about providing student loans and new credit opportunities to enhance the skills of our people.
Moreso, we intend to ensure that they can access a higher quality of life within their legitimate incomes.
Our economic reforms will transform our economy, and our young people will be the reason why,” the President stated.
President Tinubu asserted that his confidence in the Nigerian people gave him the courage to take difficult decisions on their behalf.
Tinubu also stated that he is fully aware of the need to give Nigerians the long-term tools they need to succeed.
“I am a determined leader of my people. I have and will continue to take the difficult decisions that will benefit our people, even if there is short-term pain.
We have gone through the worst of the storms.
I am unafraid of the consequences once I know that my actions are in the best long-term interests of all Nigerians.
