Tinubu promises that the Nigerian economy will bounce back soon

On Tuesday, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu promised Nigerians and the international community that the country’s economy will soon recover.

President Tinubu gave the assurance while kicking off the two-day Green Economy Summit, ‘Sustainable Future: Harnessing Green Assets and Innovation for Niger State’s Prosperity,’ organized by the Niger State Government in Minna. He also pledged unqualified support for Niger State Governor Mohammed Bago’s Green Economy initiative aimed at unlocking the vast mineral resources across the state.

During the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Monday, the President, who was represented by Minister of State for Solid Minerals Senator Abdullahi Sabi, provided insight into the newly approved solid mineral development policy.”President Tinubu is also another visionary leader, and we are grateful to Almighty Allah for bringing him to serve our country at this time,” he stated. To demonstrate the President’s dedication to the establishment of a green economy, a new solid mineral development policy was approved by the Federal Executive Council just yesterday.

“And this policy will undoubtedly align with and benefit the green economy that you have envisioned for Niger State, because the policy emphasizes the elimination of all forms of illegality that desecrate and destroy our environment.”

“It also intends to ensure a new principle of resource-use efficiency while allowing people who want to operate legally in the mining sector to do so.” And, as His Excellency, the Governor stated, Niger State is endowed with a variety of mineral elements.

“I want to assure you that the President’s commitment to enthroning the green economy over the next few years will align with the green economy vision you have for Niger State.”

“Finally, I want to assure you that the President is fully aware of all the difficulties caused by some of the difficult decisions that must be made at this time, and his charge is to simply say, Please pray for us, give us your understanding, and as we make this powerful sacrifice, the gains of our sacrifice are just a short minute or a few hours away from us.”

“Very soon, we shall begin to reap the benefits of these tough decisions, as our economy will bounce back and, for us, food security, which is his number one priority, will also begin to get the full attention it deserves,” President Barack Obama stated.

In his address, Niger State Governor Mohammed Bago, who convened the first subnational Green Economy Summit, stated that his administration has “produced its first Green Economy Blueprint, a strategic document outlining a visionary roadmap that will shape our development choices and steer our actions in alignment with the precepts of sustainability.”

“We are using this summit to present a draft to stakeholders for review and input, after which it will be formally launched and used in the preparation of our appropriation proposals for 2024 and beyond.”
