There is suffering in the land but we are not the only people facing such – President Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has stated that Nigerians are not the only ones experiencing poverty worldwide.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President made this remark in Lagos on Monday, June 17, when he received a delegation from the National Assembly who came to extend their Eid-el-Kabir greetings.
While acknowledging the presence of poverty and suffering in the country, President Tinubu emphasized the need to address these challenges.
“Yes, there is poverty; there is suffering in the land. We are not the only people facing such, but we must face our challenges. We must find a way to eliminate banditry and terrorism so that farmers can bring out food from the farmland. If you do not have good roads to bring the food to the population, even if you grow the food and you are losing 60-70 per cent to damages, you will pay the price,” the President said
“The need (for some citizens) to change the rent-seeking mindset and become more productive to the economy is a challenge. The need to stop smuggling and all economic sabotage. Why should we have people removing rail tracks and all that, stealing electric cables and sabotaging the economy?
”We must embrace the campaign to change our value system. We must tell our people that the challenge we face is for all of us to change our mindset about our country
