Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>President Bola Tinubu said that the Federal Government has been taking the paths to economic greatness since his administration assumed office in May.<\/p>\n

Tinubu stated this in an address on the occasion of the nation\u2019s 63rd Independence Anniversary on Sunday in Abuja.<\/p>\n

He said that the actualisation of these objectives would be pursued without fear or hatred but for the good of all Nigerians irrespective of religion, culture or class.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019At my inauguration, I made important promises about how I would govern this great nation. Among those promises, were pledges to reshape and modernize our economy and to secure the lives, liberty and property of the people.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I said that bold reforms were necessary to place our nation on the path of prosperity and growth. On that occasion, I announced the end of the fuel subsidy.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I am attuned to the hardships that have come. I have a heart that feels and eyes that see. I wish to explain to you why we must endure this trying moment.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Those who sought to perpetuate the fuel subsidy and broken foreign exchange policies are people who would build their family mansion in the middle of a swamp.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I am different. I am not a man to erect our national home on a foundation of mud. To endure, our home must be constructed on safe and pleasant ground,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that the support and patience of all Nigerians was paramount in the success of the economic reforms that would lead to the reality of Nigeria of our dream.<\/p>\n

He said that the Aegean stable at the Central Bank of Nigeria was being cleaned while tax reform and other fiscal policies are being designed to attract Foreign Direct Investment.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I pledged a thorough housecleaning of the den of malfeasance the CBN had become. That housecleaning is well underway. A new leadership for the Central Bank has been constituted.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Also, my special investigator will soon present his findings on past lapses and how to prevent similar reoccurrences.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Henceforth, monetary policy shall be for the benefit of all and not the exclusive province of the powerful and wealthy.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019I have inaugurated a Committee on Tax Reforms to improve the efficiency of tax administration in the country and address fiscal policies that are unfair or hinder the business environment and slow our growth.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019To boost employment and urban incomes, we are providing investment funding for enterprises with great potential. Similarly, we are increasing investment in micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019Commencing this month, the social safety net is being extended through the expansion of cash transfer programmes to an additional 15 million vulnerable households,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said that all citizens are welcomed to join hands toward a better country, adding that \u2018\u2019we can do it. We must do it. We shall do it.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n
