The deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau Jibrin, declared in Abuja Tuesday that President Bola Tinubu is laying a solid foundation for the country’s prosperity.
Barau in a statement issued by his special adviser on Media and Publicity, Ismail Mudashir, urged all to support the President in his quest to address the challenges facing the country.
“By May 29, it will be exactly two years since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration came on board in the country.
“Yes, we are not there, and we cannot be in the promised land in less than 23 months when the numerous challenges facing our beloved country have weighed us down for decades.
“But a journey has started—the road is rough, but it’s for the restoration of our country’s glorious days. It is not easy to rebuild a shattered building.
“In the past decades, all spheres of our country—power, road infrastructure, agriculture, education, health, water, housing, and others—have been begging for genuine attention.
“This is coupled with the fact that this government came on board at the time that the entire world economy was and is still quite turbulent due to the high cost of basic goods and services all over the world arising from Russia -Ukraine, and Israel–Palestine wars. Nigeria is certainly not an exception.
“The good news is that the president is genuinely committed to addressing these challenges. Fresh air is already permeating all the country’s spheres, nooks and crannies to the admiration of lovers and good people, irrespective of differences and persuasions,” he said.
He added that since the present administration was inaugurated on May 29, 2023, President Tinubu has left no stone unturned in addressing the country’s challenges.
“The direction is clear, and the foundation is correctly and solidly laid for our country’s transformation and prosperity,” he said.
According to him, “Admirable success has been recorded in the area of security under President Tinubu with Hundreds of terrorists neuralised in the North West geopolitical zone just as instances of incessant kidnapping on the Abuja/Kaduna road now history.
“In the Southeast, the activities of unknown gunmen terrorising the region have been on the downward side.
“In the North East, Boko Haram was almost completely eradicated until the recent attacks in some parts of Borno State. I am confident that our gallant members of the Armed Forces will act decisively to smoke them out permanently”.
