Delivering his speech in commemoration of the country’s 63rd Independence Day anniversary, Tinubu recalled that during his May 29 inauguration as the nation’s president, he called for the end of the fuel subsidy, among other reforms.

He said that such reforms were necessary to put the nation on the path of “prosperity and growth.”

“At my inauguration, I made important promises about how I would govern this great nation. Among those promises, were pledges to reshape and modernise our economy and to secure the lives, liberty, and property of the people.

“I 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,” he stated.

The President, while noting that reforms may be painful, assured that the nation is on its path to a future where “hunger, poverty, and hardship are pushed into the shadows of an ever-fading past.”
