President Bola Tinubu on Thursday called for patience from Nigerian youths following the hardship occasioned by his administration’s policy initiatives.
Tinubu gave the assurance during an audience with the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Youth Leaders from the 36 states and Federal Capital Territory at the State House, Abuja.
He said the hardships of the moment would eventually give way to a more prosperous, equitable, and inclusive economy.
The president told the youths that his administration would include them in governance and decision-making processes, assuring that no decision would be too difficult for his administration to take for the prosperity and unity of the country.
He said: “I make my pledge to the country that no decision will be difficult for this administration to take for the prosperity and unity of this country. Economic reforms could be slow. Be patient a little more.
“I can assure you that I understand the pains you are going through. It is not easy to get out of the monster of over 40 years called fuel subsidy.’’
Earlier, the APC National Youth Leader, Mr. Abdullahi Israel, said they were in the State House to congratulate the president on the party’s victory in the last general election.
