Abuja, Nigeria – President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to Nigeria’s economic recovery and sustainable development, promising to intensify efforts to deliver prosperity for all Nigerians.
Speaking at the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, the President described the vote of confidence passed on his government as both an honor and a call to greater responsibility.
“I appreciate this vote of confidence and wholeheartedly accept it.
However, it is not just an endorsement but a challenge to do even more. We will vigorously pursue food security, attract investment, and drive sustainable development,” Tinubu said during his address.
Optimism Amid Economic Progress
President Tinubu expressed optimism about Nigeria’s economic trajectory, citing improvements in key sectors and a gradual return to stability.
He highlighted the ongoing decline in food prices as a positive development, particularly with the approach of Ramadan, and attributed these gains to the resilience of Nigerians and the dedication of APC governors.
“Despite global uncertainties, Nigeria is witnessing economic growth and resilience.
I am pleased to see food prices coming down, and I extend my gratitude to the governors for their commitment to improving the lives of our citizens,” Tinubu remarked.
The President also noted that his administration remains focused on fostering collaboration across all arms of government to achieve national progress.
He commended APC governors, National Assembly members, and party leaders for their contributions toward advancing the party’s vision for Nigeria.
Resolving Internal Party Disputes
In addressing internal party matters, Tinubu urged APC leaders to resolve lingering disputes at the state level.
He directed the APC National Working Committee (NWC) to establish committees tasked with addressing these concerns.
“The NWC is performing excellently, but we must work towards resolving conflicts in various states.
