Gains from Tinubu’s reforms will be enormous – Gov Otu
Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State has raised the hope of Nigerians that the current strenuous reforms undertaken by the President Bola Tinubu’s government will bring about enormous gains later.
He stated this in his address to mark Nigeria’s 64th anniversary celebration in Calabar, the state capital.
He cautioned against hoping for early gains, saying: “The eyes of all Nigerians should be on the goal; and not the momentary pains that afflict the body and the stress that assail our mental capacity occasioned by the prevailing economic reforms introduced by the Federal Government.
“Admittedly, the inconveniences are enormous but the expected gains of these reforms far outweigh the pains. What is required at this critical time of our nationhood is perseverance.”
He assured that there is light at the end of the tunnel, adding that Nigeria has come a long way and is steadily progressing as a sovereign and indivisible political entity.
The governor told his people that the fundamental objective of Nigeria’s independence celebration should be primarily stock-taking and a meticulous assessment.
He justified Tinubu’s reforms saying the long and tortuous journey to independence undertaken by our forefathers therefore, can only be made fruitful and appreciated by setting and implementing enduring agenda for the political and economic emancipation of the people.
