President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the tough policies initiated by his administration will soon bring relief to them.
He vowed that the policies, though initially difficult, would soon bring the much-needed relief to the Nigerians.
This statement was made on Sunday by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who represented President Tinubu at the opening of the Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Lagos.
There, Tinubu echoed his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and fostering the principles of democracy.
He acknowledged the NBA’s role in promoting democratic ideals and ensuring the rule of law is maintained.
Economic Hardship
To him, his administration holds high respect for the separation of powers and tolerance for dissenting views within the ambit of the law.
The president’s remarks come as his administration faces criticism over recent policies, including the removal of fuel subsidies and other economic reforms, which have led to increased hardship for many Nigerians.
However, Tinubu remains confident that these changes will have positive outcomes in the long term.
On several occasions, the president has shared this positive vision with Nigerians.
But then, the hunger in the land is unbearable, hence, Nigerians are demanding quick solutions.
The Difficult Decision
He said: “Let me reassure you all that this administration will continue to promote the rule of law, adherence to the principles of separation of powers and tolerance of dissent within the bounds of the law.”
He assured that though making difficult decisions to change the way things were being done in the past would produce hard results, his administration’s policies and actions will bring relief to Nigerians very soon.
President Tinubu noted: “While I acknowledge the temporal existence of some daunting challenges besetting us as a nation, I would like to urge you all not to adopt a defeatist approach; rather, we should remain resolute in working for a country of our dreams.

“It is obvious that Nigeria as a nation cannot continue to sojourn on the trajectory of the past if we must be assured of sustainable development; hence, the need to sanitize the Augean stable and chart a proper course of rebuilding the nation.
“I acknowledge that altering the status quo requires difficult decisions and changes, which also inevitably come with hard outcomes.
However, I am confident that this is a passing phase and our policies and actions, as an administration, are bound to usher in relief in no distant time.”
