President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reassured Nigerians that his administration is committed to achieving concrete results and driving positive change across sectors, including education and long-term economic stability.
Speaking at a meeting with the Forum of Former Presiding Officers of the National Assembly, the president emphasised that he is not in office for personal gain but to serve the country.
”I didn’t come to look for money and exploit the situation; I came to work. I asked for the votes, and Nigerians gave them to me.
I have travelled the world and seen how developed countries have done it for themselves through collaboration, inclusiveness and financial structure.
Yes, there is hardship, but how did we get here? What did we do when we had very high crude production?
We neglected our communities; we neglected the goose that lays the golden eggs; we forgot even to give them a good standard of living. We forgot to educate our children. Go round and look at the dilapidated schools. The education environment must be decent enough for pupils to want to learn.
We can complain from now till eternity that the school enrolment is low. But did we do anything to encourage the enrolment process? We must ask ourselves because it is a matter of conscience.
We have come a long way, and I promise we must do our best,” he said.
