The president speaking during the early morning broadcast in celebration of the nation’s independence day celebration highlighted the need for collective efforts in building social harmony while also addressing the immediate challenges facing the country.
“Fellow Nigerians, while we are working to stabilise the economy and secure the country, we also seek to foster national unity and build social harmony and cohesion. Our economy can only thrive when there is peace,” Tinubu stated, underscoring the direct connection between economic prosperity and national tranquility.
The president also addressed the role of the younger generation in shaping the nation’s future, expressing the government’s commitment to empowering them.
“As we work to overcome the challenges of the day, we remain mindful of the next generation as we seek to galvanize their creative energy towards a better future.”
In his remarks, Tinubu emphasized the importance of involving the youth in shaping the nation they will inherit. “We lead today with the future we wish to bequeath to our children in focus, recognizing that we cannot design a future that belongs to them without making them its architects,” he added.
