President Bola Tinubu has stated that his administration’s priorities will be industrialization, education, and healthcare.
In addition, the president stated that his administration would create an enabling environment for industrialization and investment, in line with his vision of creating a country that is economically stable and prosperous.
Tinubu spoke on Monday in Owerri, the capital city of Imo, at Hope Uzodinma‘s second term as governor of the state.
Even though Nigerians are suffering as a result of the removal of petrol subsidies, he believes things are improving.
Tinubu said:
“In the past 40 years, a few people were cornering our commonwealth and calling it a subsidy, but I call it wasteful.”
“Right now, we are all bearing and sharing that pain. But things are looking up. Things will get better for the good of all Nigerians. With me, there is hope.
“I assure you that there will be substantial development in education for your children; priority on industrialization; healthcare will receive more allocation and attention.
“We will train more health workers.”
While commending the governor for his achievements, the president described him as the “real Hope”.
“Before now, people were afraid of coming to Imo state, but today Imo is safe and open for business. What we have learned from this experience is the importance of unity, cooperation, and a focus on our internal security,” he said.
“I assure you that your hopes are renewed. Be assured of the support of the federal government to ensure rapid development of your state.”
Uzodinma said after taking the oath of office that his administration has worked hard to repair the rot in the state’s civil service.
“We have been able to lay a solid foundation for accelerated economic growth and development of our state,” he said.
“We also addressed the decay we met in the civil service, the decay we met in the education sector, and the health sector.”
