President Tinubu Addresses Poverty and National Challenges, Urges Change in Mindset
President Bola Tinubu has emphasized that Nigerians are not alone in facing poverty, acknowledging the widespread suffering but urging collective action to tackle the nation’s challenges.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, the President made these remarks in Lagos on Monday, June 17, while welcoming a delegation from the National Assembly during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration. He highlighted the importance of addressing issues such as banditry and terrorism to ensure food security and improve infrastructure.
“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,” Tinubu stated.
President Tinubu also called for a shift in the mindset of citizens, urging them to move away from rent-seeking behaviors and contribute more productively to the economy. He stressed the need to combat smuggling and other forms of economic sabotage, such as the theft of rail tracks and electric cables, which undermine national progress.
“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,” the President added.
By fostering a change in attitudes and values, President Tinubu believes that Nigeria can overcome its current difficulties and achieve sustainable development.

Details of the March was discusses at the House of assembly, 1000 participants will be attending which will also include the representatives and members of the public. This awareness is a sign of national unity and fighting for justice to restore stability in the country.
The Labour Party (LP) has firmly rejected claims that it is collaborating with President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in preparation for the 2027 elections.
The allegations, made by human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju in a viral video, were addressed in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
The LP emphasized its role as the leading opposition party, with its National Chairman, Barrister Julius Abure, consistently criticizing the current administration’s policies.
The party highlighted its post-2023 election efforts to hold the government accountable while advocating for reforms in Nigeria’s electoral system.
According to Ifoh, the LP remains committed to credible governance and dismissed any insinuations of collusion as baseless.
Describing Adeyanju’s claims as damaging and unfounded, the party challenged him to provide evidence to support his allegations.
The LP reaffirmed its stance as a principled opposition force determined to ensure fair and transparent leadership selection processes in the country.
A 25-year-old Indian man, Rohitash Kumar, narrowly escaped being cremated alive in Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan, after being mistakenly declared dead by hospital staff.
Kumar, who had hearing and speech difficulties, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday following an epileptic seizure. A doctor declared him dead without conducting a mandatory postmortem examination, and his body was sent for cremation.
As the funeral pyre was about to be lit, witnesses noticed Kumar’s body moving. He was immediately taken back to the hospital, where he died the next day during treatment.
The incident has led to the suspension of three doctors, with police launching an investigation into the negligence. Authorities have promised strict action to prevent such errors in the future.
