PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu has assured a World Bank delegation, led by Managing Director of Operations, Anna Bjerde, that Nigeria’s bold economic reforms were irreversible, framing them as essential for harnessing the nation’s vast potentialities, amid its youthful population and arable lands.
Speaking at the State House, after a briefing from the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, and the Vice President, Senator Kashim Shettima, President Tinubu expressed delight in the reunion. “It’s just a joy for me to come back meet with you again,” he said.
He doubled down on the reform trajectory, saying, “since we have gone into this tunnel of reform, we have our hands on the power and we’re never going to look back.”
Tinubu, who acknowledged the initial hardships but drew a stark lesson in resilience, said: “It is very clear that initially it was painful, difficult, but those who win are not the ones who give up on their way in the difficult times.”
