Hardship: I’m tackling Nigeria’s challenges -Tinubu

 President Bola Tinubu has reiterated that his administration
was taking steps to tackle the numerous social and economic challenges
bedeviling the country.

 

The president made this statement on Sunday in Lagos at the
opening ceremony of the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA, Annual General
Conference.

 

This is coming as the Director-General of the World Trade
Organisation, WTO, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala advocated a new social contract in
Nigeria where certain policies in the economy are sacrosanct and must not be
touched or changed when administrations change.

 

Tinubu, represented by Vice President, Kashim Shettima
highlighted some of the measures and policies being undertaken by his
administration to address the economic challenges, saying that the collapse of
the multiple exchange regimes has helped to check corruption.

 

While commenting on Okonjo-Iweala’s speech on the need for a
new social contract between the government and the people, the president said,
“Fellow Nigerians, it is appropriate to refer to the recent landmark position
of the Supreme Court granting financial autonomy to the local government
councils in Nigeria.

 

“Expectedly, this will spur the much-desired developments at
the grassroots level, while I remain confident that more of such strategic and
reform-oriented legal interventions will be achieved.”
