President Bola Tinubu wants young people to have faith in the country, urging them to stay back and help “build here”.
In his Democracy Day address to Nigerians, President Tinubu told them that their future is secure in the country.
“To our young people: Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, code here, work here, and vote here,” Tinubu said in the Friday morning broadcast. “Every great nation was built by those who stayed to solve problems, not by those who abandoned ship.”
According to the president, his administration is rolling out policies and programmes to help address the challenges facing citizens; notable among them is the “chronic generation shortfalls” in the power sector.
“To address the problems besetting the sector, I signed the Electricity Act, which grants states authority to generate, transmit, and distribute power. The Presidential Power Sector Task Force is working hard to reduce the metering deficit. It has also been authorised to raise a N4 trillion bond to settle verified legacy debts,” he said.
“The Rural Electrification Agency, supported by the World Bank and the African Development Bank, has deployed off-grid and mini-grid power to underserved communities, universities, markets, and hospitals. Electricity is a democratic dividend we owe every Nigerian. We intend to deliver it.”
Tinubu also said his administration’s economic reforms are paying off despite the initial hurdles.
Although many Nigerians still face economic hardship, the former Lagos State governor said his government remains “focused on reducing inflation, expanding food production, creating jobs, improving living standards, rebuilding confidence in our economy, and creating conditions for sustainable prosperity.
“We are moving from uncertainty to stability. The next phase is about accelerating growth and ensuring the benefits are felt in every home, every community, and every region. We believe that Democracy must be felt in the pocket,” the president said.
