Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna state has slammed those blaming President Bola Tinubu’s administration for the current state of the country, saying Mr Tinubu inherited a comatose economy.
“Our dear President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR assumed office at a trying time in the nation’s history. He inherited a near-comatose economy. He, therefore, has the unenviable task of initiating and implementing far-reaching measures to prevent the Nigerian economy from collapse”, Governor Sani noted.
Speaking at the 48th National Council on Information and National Orientation in Kaduna on Friday, Mr Sani said Mr Tinubu’s policies are targeted at redefining the country away from its current economic crises.
While acknowledging the challenges in the country, the governor assured Nigerians of better days ahead given Mr Tinubu’s innovative and creative solutions.
“Because of global economic meltdown and years of mismanagement in Nigeria, fixing our economy requires time and sustained re-engineering. That is why Mr President has come up with innovative and creative solutions to reinvent the economy and put our nation irreversibly on the path to sustainable growth and development.
Mr Sani added, “Although some of the measures have been painful, they are being implemented with good intentions for the greater good of the Nigerian people. As a father of the nation, President Tinubu has continued to renew our hope in the possibilities of the Nigerian nation.”
The governor further tasked information managers to genuinely educate Nigerians on the benefits of Mr Tinubu’s policies, highlighting the importance of patience and understanding.
“Information Managers have a responsibility to effectively communicate Mr. President’s Reform Agenda to the Nigerian people. We must fashion a robust Communications Strategy to carry out this important task. We must give the people the background to the reforms, what it is all about, and the benefits therein.
“We must be patient with the people and break things down for them. Messages should be crafted in a way that takes care of the peculiarities of different audiences. We need the buy-in of the people in what we do. The people are our pillar of support.”
