President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians to have more patience with his administration, saying that nothing good come easily for any developed nation.

Tinubu insisted that his economic reform is working, despite the hardship facing the country.

Speaking at the All Progressives Congress’ National Summit at the banquet hall of the State House in Abuja, on Thursday, the former governor of Lagos State noted that the ruling party is not a failure.

He added that subsidy on petrol, which has been costing the country huge amount of fund has gone forever.

Tinubu said: “Two years ago, we embarked on this journey, propelled by a bus of hope and abiding faith in Nigeria.

“Together, we pledged to confront Nigeria’s challenges head-on by rebuilding the trust, fostering prosperity.

“Today, I am proud to affirm that our economic reforms are working. There’s nothing good that comes easily. The subsidy is gone and was gone for the good of this country.”

Recall that President Tinubu, in May 2023, embarked on a deep economic reform programme, which the government and international financial institutions said was necessary to right the public finances of Africa.

The International Monetary Fund said last month that the government’s tough economic reforms have yet to benefit the average citizen.
