Represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, Tinubu said the Renewed Hope Agenda was a national commitment that must translate into tangible improvements in the daily lives of Nigerians.
“The decisions we make here must result in visible improvements jobs created, businesses supported, infrastructure developed, schools strengthened, healthcare improved and opportunities expanded,” the President said.
He urged all tiers of government to move beyond dialogue to delivery, strengthen cooperative federalism and ensure that ongoing macroeconomic reforms have real impact on citizens.
According to him, reforms should be approached as a continuous process requiring courage, patience and consistency, stressing that the Federal Government remains committed to supporting sub-national governments and deepening institutional reforms.
