The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, has said that Nigeria’s socio-economic challenges did not start with President Bola Tinubu’s government.
Akume, who made the remarks during a special service held on Sunday at the National Ecumenical Centre, Abuja, to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th Independence anniversary, emphasized that the Tinubu administration has already initiated far-reaching reforms to reposition the country.
He stressed that nation-building is a collective responsibility, urging all Nigerians to actively contribute to the development of the country.
“Each Nigerian has a role in building the Nigeria that we deserve,” Akume said.
Highlighting some of the key policy measures already taken by the President, the former Benue State Governor pointed to the removal of fuel subsidy as a bold step towards economic recovery.
He maintained that Tinubu’s reform agenda requires the support of all citizens, adding: “What President Bola Tinubu is doing today could have been done 39 years ago. But I believe that at the end of the tunnel, there is light.”
