Speaking during a public engagement, the president said his administration is fully aware of the hardship being experienced by families, workers, traders, and business owners. He noted that the government understands the frustration of citizens over increasing prices of food, transportation, electricity, and other essential commodities.
Tinubu explained that some of the tough decisions taken by his administration were necessary to stabilize the nation’s economy and secure long-term growth. According to him, the reforms were designed to correct structural problems that had affected the country for years.
The president assured Nigerians that efforts are being intensified to ease the burden on citizens through various intervention programs and economic support measures.
