Tinubu Assures Nigerians of Brighter Days Ahead Despite Challenges from Fuel Subsidy Removal
President Bola Tinubu has reassured Nigerians of a better future despite the challenges posed by the removal of the fuel subsidy.
Speaking at the combined 34th and 35th convocation ceremonies of the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Ondo State, on Saturday, Tinubu, represented by Prof. Wahab Egbewole, Vice Chancellor of the University of Ilorin, highlighted the necessity of the policy.
He explained that his administration inherited a steeply declining economy burdened by heavy debts from fuel and dollar subsidies. “The subsidies, initially aimed at supporting the poor, ironically worsened their conditions and threatened the nation’s economic stability,” Tinubu said.
He emphasized that removing the subsidy and unifying exchange rates were critical steps to prevent economic collapse and ensure a better future. While acknowledging the immediate hardships, the president noted that the country’s macro and micro-economies are steadily improving.
Tinubu assured Nigerians that the “Renewed Hope Agenda” remains on track, adding, “Brighter days are almost here. The challenges call for patriotism, and I assure all Nigerians there is light at the end of the tunnel.”
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
