President Bola Tinubu on Sunday assured that his administration is determined to change the narrative about a weak and crawling economy by bringing about transformation to governance.

Tinubu gave the assurance during bilateral political talks with the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Olaf Scholz, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The President at the occasion called for improved cooperation in security, natural resources, education, and democracy, among others, with the German government.

Tinubu said that the affirmation of his election by the Supreme Court last week had removed distractions from his focus on moving the country forward. He welcomed the German government for more cooperation in multiple areas.

“Nigeria is still crawling, but we are determined to change the narrative and bring about a transformative government in the country,” Tinubu said.

In his response, Scholz highlighted the need for further collaboration on infrastructure, particularly in electricity and energy.

He also thanked Tinubu for his role in ECOWAS and called for collaboration in ensuring peace and stability in Africa and the world at large.
