President Bola Tinubu has expressed confidence that his administration is on the pathway to success, notwithstanding the challenges facing the country, saying Nigeria has no reason to fail the rest of the African continent.
Speaking while receiving visiting Bank of America officials in his office at the State House on Tuesday, the President said his government was committed to instituting reforms that would engender the sustainable growth and development of the country.
He said, “We believe we are on the right track so far. We believe we need all the help we can get.”
He solicited the bank’s management for support and partnership that would advance mutual benefits for Nigeria and the financial institution.
President Tinubu said the country’s governance and development challenges cannot be addressed without fiscal and institutional reforms.
