President Bola Tinubu has warned ethnic agitators that are threatening the sovereignty of Nigeria
President Bola Tinubu said this when he received leaders of Afenifere at the State House in Abuja.
He said that those threatening the sovereignty of Nigerians will have a price to pay.
President Bola Tinubu also said that his administration remained undeterred in its pursuit of comprehensive economic security for the country while addressing foundational challenges and creating a fair and equitable system in which all Nigerians can thrive.
The President said his administration is re-engineering Nigeria’s finances and seeking to boost the purchasing power of citizens by instituting a credit system where the element of cash does not impede enhancing the standard of living for all citizens.
He said Nigeria must secure itself economically first before it can achieve any of its more sophisticated objectives.
The President in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale noted that education remains a strong weapon against poverty.
‘’Education is a strong weapon against poverty. To empower the people, we must invest in the future of our youths. We have seen the problems parents face in training their children in school; it is the reason why we established the National Student Loan Programme, which is taking off well.
‘’We are equally examining what to do with the high degree of unemployment. We must help vulnerable people by providing social security. We are looking at how to provide allowances for the unemployed, and we are developing ways to boost the purchasing power of citizens with the Consumer Credit Scheme. If we remove the cash upfront element to buy a car or a house, we will reduce the propensity for fraud and corruption across the land,’’ President Tinubu said.
