President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, assured Nigerians of his administration’s resolve to ensure the dividends of the Renewed Hope Agenda reforms are felt across every state and community in the country.
Mr Tinubu, represented by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, gave the assurance in his closing remarks at the second edition of the National Economic Council Conference, held at the State House Conference Hall, Abuja. The president urged the members of the NEC, comprising governors, key government officials, and other relevant stakeholders, to recommit to delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“The decisions we make here must translate into visible improvements in the daily lives of all Nigerians — in jobs created, businesses supported, roads constructed, schools strengthened, healthcare improved, and opportunities expanded.
“Our administration remains resolute. We will continue to support sub-national governments, deepen institutional reforms, and ensure that the dividends of our policies are felt across every state and every community in this country,” he said.
Mr Tinubu reassured Nigerians that his administration is aligned in purpose and united in responsibility, adding that “together, we will build a more resilient economy, a more inclusive society, and a stronger federation”. He commended the chairman of the council, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, for his steady leadership of the National Economic Council and for guiding deliberations with clarity and focus.
“Today, as we draw this second edition of the National Economic Council Conference to a close, I am deeply encouraged by the seriousness of engagement and the strength of the consensus we have built. I also want to thank our governors, ministers, development partners, and private sector stakeholders for their frank contributions and unwavering commitment to Nigeria’s national progress,” Mr Tinubu said.
According to the president, the conference demonstrated that the path to sustainable prosperity lies in collaboration — between the federal and state governments, between the public and private sectors, and between policy formulation and disciplined execution.
He noted that NEC members and stakeholders reaffirmed their commitment to fiscal responsibility, economic diversification, infrastructure expansion, food security, social protection, and human capital development.
The president also stressed that the government has strengthened mechanisms for coordination and accountability, which are now translating into improved socio-economic benefits for Nigerians.
