Tinubu pledges economic recovery, says poverty will not define Nigeria’s future

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the country will overcome its current economic challenges and achieve sustainable growth.

Speaking on Wednesday at the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) Conference in Abuja, the President emphasized that poverty will not define Nigeria’s future, stressing his administration’s commitment to implementing policies that promote economic stability, job creation, and social development.

He stated that despite the prevailing economic difficulties, poverty will not define Nigeria’s future, and his administration remains focused on policies aimed at improving the welfare of citizens, creating jobs, and boosting the economy.

“We may be poor; poverty is not going to be our milestone. We are going to come out of it,” he said.

Tinubu further stated that, although the reforms his administration had undertaken were challenging, they were designed to place Nigeria’s economy on a strong and enduring footing.

He maintained that every stakeholder, especially the media, has a role to play in improving the country.
