President Bola Tinubu has explained that his decision to remove the fuel subsidy was made with the future of Nigerian youths in mind.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Planning Committee for the National Youth Conference at the State House in Abuja, Tinubu emphasized that all his policies aim to create a better Nigeria for young people.
He assured the youths that his administration is working to build a stronger economy and a brighter future. According to him, while the decision might be tough, it is necessary for long-term progress.
The removal of the fuel subsidy has been a major topic in Nigeria, sparking debates about its impact on citizens. However, Tinubu believes it is a step towards a more sustainable economy that will benefit young Nigerians in the long run.
In his words
“I want to reassure you that you are the hope of this country, and everything hangs on you. Every decision that I have taken is about you. It’s about the future. When we removed the fuel subsidy, it was because we wanted to protect your future. We have cleared the path for you to have a great future.
When you listen to most professionals leaving Nigeria, there’s a cause. If you grow prosperity back home and empower people, they will not bother leaving. They will stay home.”
