President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has said that Nigerians should look beyond the present pains caused by his administration’s policies and aim at the larger picture.
He added that the glorious dawn was around the corner.
The President spoke in a video clip reposted yesterday by the Presidency’s official handle @NGRPresident.
He acknowledged that the removal of the petrol subsidy had caused temporary pains.
The President assured that measures are being taken to close the gap and ensure a better future for the country.
Urging citizens to have faith in his vision, he said: “Fellow Nigerians, this period may be hard on us and there’s no doubt that it’s tough on us, but I urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture.
“All our good and helpful plans are in the works. More importantly, I know that they will work.
“Sadly, there was an unavoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully online.
“However, we are swiftly closing the time gap. I plead with you, please have faith in our ability to deliver and in our concern for your wellbeing.
“We will get out of this turbulence and due to the measures we have taken, Nigeria will be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.”
