Lagos, Feb. 2, 2024 – Mohammed Idris Malagi, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, on Thursday urged Nigerians to be patient with the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu.
Malagi, who spoke on Channels TV Sunrise Daily on Thursday, said the economic reforms would take time to bear expected benefits.
“I want you to remember that the President is seven months old in office. I am not going to make excuses that seven months is just a short time.
“But for a long-term plan, you need a lot more time to put structures in place. But of course, as you trudge along, there will be shocks, turbulence, and occasional dislocations that you would find. But the vision of the president is very clear: he wants to take Nigeria to the desired prosperity.
“He works day and night to achieve that. Every day, all the ministers and everyone else are working in that direction, but the results are not seen yet. We ask Nigerians to be a little more patient.
“I know it’s difficult, especially when people are finding it hard to purchase food items as a result of these policies, but the government is doing a lot to address them.”. (GBN)
