President Bola Tinubu has expressed optimism that Nigeria will overcome its current economic difficulties, assuring citizens that the nation remains resilient despite the harsh impact of global developments, particularly the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The President gave the assurance on Sunday after a special prayer session held in his honour at the National Mosque, Abuja, as part of activities marking his 74th birthday.
President Tinubu acknowledged that Nigerians are facing challenges, including electricity concerns, rising transportation costs and inflationary pressures, but maintained that the country would pull through.
There is that of electricity, there’s a problem of transportation hike, there’s a problem of expected inflation as a result of the war that we have no control over. But we will overcome it. We are a resilient nation that is very, very committed and resilient to the way of Almighty God; we will overcome all action,” he said.
The President stated that the present hardship is not peculiar to Nigeria alone, noting that the war in the Middle East has contributed to global instability and placed additional pressure on economies worldwide.
He further expressed confidence that with faith in God and collective national resilience, the country would surmount the difficulties.
