President Bola Tinubu has reassured Nigerians that the reforms implemented by his administration are beginning to bear fruit.
The President stated this in a personal message issued on Sunday to celebrate his 74th birthday.
“As I mark this special day, I am reminded of the challenges we’ve faced since we initiated our reforms. I’m glad that our sacrifices have not been in vain as we can see some glittering light at the end of the tunnel, despite the temporary setback caused by the ongoing Middle East crisis,” Tinubu said.
“The credit for the positive outcomes we have achieved does not belong solely to me, our Renewed Hope team and our government. We achieved the gains together.”
The Commander-in-Chief, President Tinubu, also explained why he decided to celebrate his birthday with a low-key observance, attributing it to the prevailing national mood and ongoing challenges facing the country.
He thanked Nigerians for their goodwill messages and support, while explaining his decision to keep the celebration subdued.
