Tinubu: Nigerians Must Feel Economic Impact Before I Rest
President Bola Tinubu has promised not to rest until Nigerians experience the positive effects of his economic policies.
This assurance comes after the National Bureau of Statistics reported a 3.46% growth in Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter of 2024, an improvement from the 3.19% recorded in the second quarter.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, Tinubu expressed optimism about the economic progress. He said, “I am excited by the latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics showing our economy grew more than projected.
While this is encouraging, it highlights the work ahead. We won’t rest until Nigerians feel the benefits in their daily lives and enjoy a better standard of living.”
Tinubu credited the growth to his administration’s economic reforms and better fiscal management. He emphasized that the upcoming rebasing of the economy in early 2025 will reflect significant changes in various sectors, paving the way for shared prosperity.
The President also highlighted proposed tax reforms aimed at reducing the burden on small businesses and promoting fairness across the country. These reforms will address the “headquarters effect,” ensuring that tax benefits are more evenly distributed among states.
Tinubu reiterated his administration’s commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerians and creating an equitable economy.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
