President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Nigerians to remain patient as his administration's economic reforms begin to take effect, promising a brighter and more prosperous future for the nation.

Speaking at the 16th Edition of the LEADERSHIP Annual Conference and Awards, where he received the 'Person of the Year' award, Tinubu emphasized that his economic reforms will help stabilize Nigeria's economy.

Represented by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris Malagi, Tinubu delivered a strong speech at the event, acknowledging the challenges that may arise on the path to a stronger economy but expressing confidence in Nigeria's progress towards long-term economic success through the government's reforms.

He highlighted the removal of fuel subsidies, which has led to savings and increased government revenue, with these financial gains being used to support key social and economic programs, including negotiations for a new minimum wage. Tinubu also announced the approval of N200bn disbursement through special integration funds to support Nigerian businesses, education, and vulnerable households.

Additionally, Tinubu discussed initiatives in sectors such as education, transportation, and agriculture, highlighting positive economic indicators such as foreign direct investments and GDP growth.

He urged the Nigerian media to accurately reflect both the current challenges and the promising future of Nigeria's economy.
