Monday, August 26, 2024-President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration's tough policy decisions are set to bring relief and improve living conditions across the nation.
Speaking at the Annual General
Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Lagos, President Tinubu who
was represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, reiterated his
administration's commitment to promoting the rule of law, adhering to the principles
of separation of powers, and tolerating dissenting views within the legal
framework of the country. He emphasized that the challenging decisions made
were necessary for transformative changes and promised that these would soon
yield positive outcomes for the populace.
The President praised the NBA's
long-standing role in championing democratic ideals and the rule of law,
aligning these principles with his administration's objectives. Tinubu's
address highlighted the difficult but necessary path his government has embarked
on to amend longstanding issues and inefficiencies.
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.
“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.”
