President Bola Tinubu has restated the commitment of his administration to finding solutions that would put an end to terrorism and banditry in Nigeria
The president said this on Monday during his opening remarks at the National Executive Council, NEC, conference on Inclusive Growth and Sustainable National Development in Abuja.
He commended several governors, especially those of Borno, Katsina, and Kaduna, for their role in protecting the nation’s freedom and security.
“And I am leaving here again to further find means to strengthen our security forces to defeat terrorism and banditry, that I promise you. So, it’s an economic encumbrance if we do not find a solution to it.
“It is what has kept all of us sleepless at night, but I assure you that we will win with determination and resiliency. We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry; it’s not part of our culture, it’s foreign to us,” he said.
Speaking on his administration’s efforts to transform the economy, President Tinubu said his administration is working to strengthen macroeconomic stability.
“We are strengthening macroeconomic stability through improved revenue performance, stronger public financial management, and enhanced physical coordination. We have prioritized infrastructure development across transportation, power, digital connectivity, housing, and irrigation as catalysts for inclusive growth,” he said.
