The President also said he’s carrying out the right reforms to set the nation on the path of prosperity. He said;
“When you read the papers, some of us are confused whether to abuse the present or the past (governments) or make excuses for the future.
“(It’s) not in my dictionary. Take action now, do your best, re-engineer the finances of the country and stay ahead on the right path. Those who may be complaining now have to understand that perseverance and consistency will make a nation great.
“It is that time for Nigeria to face the challenge and make it an economic opportunity. We must care for people and harness our farming population, including livestock farming.”
Tinubu also said he is committed to ending economic sabotage caused by herders whose cows destroy farmlands. He said;
“I know what it means as an act of economic sabotage when for roaming cows to eat up the crops and vegetation of our lands. I know it could be painful but when we reorient the herders and make provision for cattle rearing, (this will end).
“You are the governors who must provide the land. Provide us with the land. I, as the President, I am committed to giving you in two, three weeks’ time, a comprehensive programme that will this problem.”
