Tough Economic Reforms: We are gradually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel — Tinubu boldly declares

President Bola Tinubu has defended his administration’s bold economic reforms, saying the hard choices were necessary for the country’s growth.

He made the remarks while receiving Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi, a special envoy from the Amir of Qatar, at the State House in Abuja.

“We are making efforts to reform our tax system. Going by the experiences of the past and the need to depart from old ways, our reforms have been hard,” Tinubu said.

“I made tough decisions so that we could grow. We are gradually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel,” he added.

The President noted that changes to the tax structure have made Nigeria more attractive to foreign investors and stressed that Nigeria offers strong partnership potential.

“You can’t find a better partner than Nigeria. I always follow the global issues and your efforts. You have to do more in Nigeria to help fight p+v£rty in the humanitarian area.

You have done well in developing a knowledge-based economy in Qatar, but what about Nigeria?” Pres. Tinubu told the Qatar envoy.

Tinubu expressed readiness to implement all agreements from his 2024 visit to Qatar and tasked key ministers with ensuring timely execution.

“To all the members of the delegation, I want to say a big thank you for coming to Nigeria… We are willing to go further in our bilateral relations,” he said.

He praised Qatar’s role in promoting peace, “I am proud of your efforts to bring peace and stability to the world… We are conscious of who our friends are and those helping us to ameliorate the problems.”

Al-Khulaifi conveyed the Amir’s interest in deeper cooperation, announcing an upcoming visit by a Qatari business delegation focused on agriculture, food security, and petrochemicals.

“The message I have from His Highness, Amir of Qatar, is that he wants Nigeria to be a strategic partner in Africa,” he said. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>>
