Very soon, Nigerians will feel the impact of my reforms: Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the benefits of his administration’s economic reforms will soon be felt across the country, insisting that the policies are designed to lay the foundation for lasting prosperity and national development.

Tinubu gave the assurance on Thursday during the inauguration of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement in Abuja.

Represented by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, the President said his administration chose the path of courage by implementing difficult but necessary reforms aimed at rebuilding the nation’s economy.

Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, Tinubu’s administration has introduced several major economic reforms, including the removal of the fuel subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market.

Although the measures have generated concerns over their short-term impact on citizens, the President maintained that they are necessary to secure Nigeria’s long-term economic future.

“Every great nation is built one citizen at a time, one community at a time. Before there are crowds, there are households. Before there are victories at the ballot box, there are conversations at the doorstep of every home.

“A movement that goes from door to door must do more than seek support. It must carry truth, inspire confidence, listen to the people and return to tell them about the dividends of good governance. That is how democracies endure,” he said.

Tinubu stressed that genuine national progress requires difficult decisions and temporary sacrifices.

“The purpose of reform is not to make life difficult for the people, but to lay the foundation upon which future generations can build lives of greater dignity, prosperity, opportunity and lasting progress.

“Lasting progress is rarely achieved without temporary sacrifice,” he added.

The President said all arms of government are working together to ensure that Nigerians begin to experience the positive effects of the reforms.

“Good governance succeeds when the executive, the legislature and the Nigerian people move forward together. We are working together to ensure that every Nigerian feels the impact of our reforms,” he stated.

He also urged politicians to place the nation’s interests above partisan considerations, noting that while elections may produce winners and losers, Nigeria must always emerge as the ultimate winner.

“Politics should never divide us beyond repair. Nigeria is greater than any political party. Nigeria is greater than any officeholder. Nigeria is greater than any election.

“We inherited this republic from those who built it before us, and we hold it in trust for future generations,” he said.

Addressing members of the newly inaugurated movement, Tinubu urged them to conduct themselves as ambassadors of democracy and national unity.

“Knock on every door with respect. Listen before you persuade. Unite before you mobilise. Let every conversation strengthen faith in our democracy and confidence in Nigeria’s future.

“When politics is conducted with patriotism and service, every door opened becomes another gateway to national renewal and renewed hope for a greater and more prosperous Nigeria,” he said.
