As Nigeria celebrates its 65th Independence anniversary, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Adewale Temitope Adedeji, has lauded the resilience of Nigerians and urged continued trust in the administration of President Bola Tinubu to meet the aspirations of the people.
In a statement released by his media office on Wednesday, Adewale, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency I, said the country was entering its 66th year on a stronger footing compared to most years since Independence.
He noted that the Tinubu administration had successfully repositioned the economy and that citizens would soon begin to reap the benefits of ongoing reforms.
“The President has further rekindled our spirits with his Independence Day address, in which he reeled out the achievements of his administration in just two years and a few months,” Adewale said.
He added that “globally respected economic analysts and experts have confirmed that we are moving in the right direction. We have left the most challenging phase of economic growth. We are seeing steady improvements in the GDP of the country while inflation continues to drop. These are beautiful signals that our country is on the right path.”
While urging Nigerians to keep supporting the Federal Government, the lawmaker also tasked state governors to implement more people-oriented programmes and improve infrastructure to justify the increased federal allocations under President Tinubu’s administration.
