Tinubu to Nigerians: We Have Finally Turned the Corner, the Worst is Over
President Bola Tinubu has announced a message of hope to Nigerians that the nation’s economy has turned the corner and the worst is over.
Addressing the nation in a national broadcast, on Wednesday morning, to mark the 65th independence anniversary, President Tinubu said: “Fellow Nigerians, we are racing against time. We must build the roads we need, repair the ones that have become decrepit, and construct the schools our children will attend and the hospitals that will care for our people. We have to plan for the generations that will come after us. We do not have enough electricity to power our industries and homes today, or the resources to repair our deteriorating roads, build seaports, railroads, and international airports comparable to the best in the world, because we failed to make the necessary investments decades ago. Our administration is setting things right.
“I am pleased to report that we have finally turned the corner. The worst is over, I say. Yesterday’s pains are giving way to relief. I salute your endurance, support, and understanding. I will continue to work for you and justify the confidence you reposed in me to steer the ship of our nation to a safe harbour.”

Tinubu: We Inherited a Near-collapsed Economy
Tinubu: We Inherited a Near-collapsed Economy
*Says ‘I’m committed irrevocably to the unfinished nation-building business’
President Bola Tinubu said upon assuming office, his administration inherited a near-collapsed economy caused by decades of fiscal policy distortions and misalignment that had impaired real growth.
In his national broadcast to mark Nigeria’s 65th independence anniversary, Tinubu said: “As a new administration, we faced a simple choice: continue business as usual and watch our nation drift, or embark on a courageous, fundamental reform path. We chose the path of reform. We chose the path of tomorrow over the comfort of today. Less than three years later, the seeds of those difficult but necessary decisions are bearing fruit.
“In resetting our country for sustainable growth, we ended the corrupt fuel subsidies and multiple foreign exchange rates that created massive incentives for a rentier economy, benefiting only a tiny minority. At the same time, the masses received little or nothing from our Commonwealth. Our administration has redirected the economy towards a more inclusive path, channelling money to fund education, healthcare, national security, agriculture, and critical economic infrastructure, such as roads, power, broadband, and social investment programmes.”
The President noted that these initiatives will generally improve Nigerians’ quality of life, adding, “as a result of the tough decisions we made, the Federal and State governments, including Local Governments, now have more resources to take care of the people at the lower level of the ladder, to address our development challenges.”
In the broadcast aired nationwide by TV and radio, President Tinubu also said: “like our founding fathers and leaders who came before me, I have committed myself irrevocably to the unfinished nation-building business.”

Nigeria at 65: Democracy only exists in Abuja, no sign of progress – Adeyanju
Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has downplayed the existence of democracy at the subnational levels in Nigeria despite the country’s 65th independence. Adeyanju said democracy only exists in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria and not at the subnational levels, 65 years after independence. In a statement he signed to mark Nigeria’s independence anniversary, the activist
Nigeria at 65: Democracy only exists in Abuja, no sign of progress – Adeyanju
Activist lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has downplayed the existence of democracy at the subnational levels in Nigeria despite the country’s 65th independence.
Adeyanju said democracy only exists in Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria and not at the subnational levels, 65 years after independence.
In a statement he signed to mark Nigeria’s independence anniversary, the activist said there is no sign that the country is making any progress.
He accused state governors of holding so much power with little accountability.
According to Adeyanju: “As Nigeria marks another Independence Day, it is important for us to reflect on the state of our democracy.
“Today, democracy in Nigeria seems to exist only in Abuja; it is almost non-existent at the subnational levels. Our governors wield excessive power with little to no accountability and they are shielded from scrutiny even as their salaries and allowances continue to rise.”
He accused state governors of disregarding the Judiciary, stressing that the Supreme Court’s judgment on local government autonomy “remains largely unenforced.”
“Less than a year ago, 19 state governors nearly crippled the EFCC. But for the intervention of the judiciary, the fight against corruption would have suffered a fatal blow.
“This same disregard for accountability is the same reason that the judgment of the Supreme Court on local government autonomy remains largely unenforced. Leaders cannot pick and choose which laws to obey,” he said.
The rights lawyer said only four ministers are working under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
He noted that a country like Nigeria can’t afford to have ghost ministers.
“True democracy must be rooted in accountability at every level, not just in the Federal Capital Territory. When we turn to the ministers, the picture is no better.
“Only about four of our ministers are visible and working; the rest are missing in action and are only ministers by portfolio. A country of Nigeria’s magnitude and challenges cannot afford ghost ministers,” he said.
He challenged the current leadership of the country to urgently address the issue of insecurity, noting that it would enable Nigerians to feel safer both at home and on the road.
Adeyanju added: “Independence means nothing without security. Nigeria must urgently strengthen its internal and territorial security so that citizens can feel safe in their homes, on their roads, and within their communities.
“Every other day we hear of “unknown gunmen” unleashing terror across the nation. This cannot continue.
“Independence Day, to me, should not just be a date on the calendar. It should be an ongoing work of building a nation where democracy, accountability, and security are real for every Nigerian, not just a privileged few.”

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says if Nigeria’s population growth is not tackled, it could cause serious consequences.
Obasanjo made this statement on Tuesday at the inauguration of the Bakhita ICT Centre at the Catholic Secretariat in Sokoto.
He emphasized the importance of education and knowledge, describing them as tools for national development.
“By the year 2050, people like the Sultan will be here. I am not praying to be here 25 years from now.
“We will have the problem of 400 million Nigerians that have to be provided with food, work that have to be satisfied. If we fail to prepare for that, Boko Haram of today will be a child’s play. We have to take care of it now,” he said.
The ex-Nigerian leader equally called on the citizens to embrace the nation’s unity in diversity and resist external narratives that misrepresent the country.
