President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that his administration’s tough policy decisions are aimed at bringing relief and improving living conditions nationwide.
At the Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in Lagos, President Tinubu, represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding the rule of law, adhering to the principles of separation of powers, and respecting dissenting opinions within the legal framework of the country. He stressed that the challenging decisions made were essential for transformative change and promised that these measures would soon result in positive outcomes for the populace.
President Tinubu commended the NBA for its enduring role in advocating democratic values and the rule of law, which aligns with his administration’s goals. He underscored the difficult but necessary journey his government has embarked on to address longstanding issues and inefficiencies.
He stated: “Let me reassure you all that this administration will continue to promote the rule of law, adherence to the principles of separation of powers, and tolerance of dissent within the bounds of the law.
“While I acknowledge the temporal existence of some daunting challenges besetting us as a nation, I would like to urge you all not to adopt a defeatist approach; rather, we should remain resolute in working for a country of our dreams.
“It is obvious that Nigeria as a nation cannot continue to sojourn on the trajectory of the past if we must be assured of sustainable development; hence, the need to sanitize the Augean stable and chart a proper course of rebuilding the nation.
“I acknowledge that altering the status quo requires difficult decisions and changes, which also inevitably come with hard outcomes. However, I am confident that this is a passing phase and our policies and actions, as an administration, are bound to usher in relief in no distant time.”
