Lagos, Dec. 22, 2023 – President Bola Tinubu on Friday said his administration was committed to improving the welfare of Nigerians.
He said the recent 50 percent rebate on inter-state transport fares and the payment of N-Power beneficiaries’ backlog of allowances were aimed at alleviating the burden of Nigerians during this festive season.
The president, who spoke during the Jumaat prayers at the Ansar-Ud-Deen Central Mosque in Lagos, said much more should be expected in the new year.
He also reiterated his commitment to the unity of the country and prosperity of all citizens, irrespective of ethnic or religious backgrounds.
Ajuri Ngelale, the Presidential Spokesman, said in statemen that Tinubu said the economic reforms initiated by his government were aimed at establishing a robust and secure foundation for Nigerians today and for generations unborn.
Tinubu, who joined the Muslim Ummah to observe Jumaat prayers marking the centennial anniversary of the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society of Nigeria (ADS), commended the Society for its service to humanity, contributions to the propagation of the tenets of Islam, and efforts in uplifting the downtrodden.
He implored members of the society to remain committed to their objectives of advancing the education of citizens, as well as promoting the moral and social development of the Muslim Ummah.
The President thanked the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society for their support during the elections, emphasising that their efforts serve as a motivation for his government to stay resolute in delivering good governance to the people.
”I thank the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society for its support during the elections. I do not take it for granted; rather, the support serves as a stimulus for us in government to remain focused,” he said.
”We are committed to enthroning a better society for our citizens irrespective of ethnic, religious, or geographical differences. The various policies already in place are expected to bring great succour to our people. We know their pains, and we are addressing them holistically.
”It is instructive that Ansar-Ud-Deen has attained 100 years through a systemic strategy that maintains its mission and vision. This is a testimony to what focused planning can achieve in a society.” (GBN)
