Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna has appealed to Nigerians that the bold reforms being carried out by the President Bola Tinubu will reset Nigeria.
Mr Sani made the appeal during a one-day lecture organised by the Arewa Think Tank on Tuesday.
According to him, the president is determined to put the country on the path of irreversible sustainable growth and development.
The governor said Nigerians needed, “just a little more patience and perseverance, and we shall start reaping the fruits of the reforms”.
While acknowledging that the implementation of the president’s policies has come with pains, Mr Sani assured that citizens would soon begin to feel the positive impacts of the reforms.
‘“In fact, we are already turning the corner. The economy is fast improving. Very soon the positive impact of the reforms would be felt by Nigerians. What the President needs at this critical time is the support of our people,’’ he added.
He explained that, “the Renewed Hope Agenda is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s visionary and transformative policy thrust, aimed at repositioning Nigeria as a global investment hub.
‘’The agenda, which is anchored on the core pillars of democracy, development, and diaspora engagement, is being vigorously pursued with courage and patriotic zeal,’’ he further said.
According to the governor, the transformation of Nigeria and giving Nigerians a new lease of life must come through prioritizing agriculture.
Mr Sani recalled that, “at independence, agriculture was the mainstay of the Nigerian economy. The three regions effectively utilised resources from agriculture to build critical infrastructure and develop human capital”.
He lamented that, “due to the discovery of oil, we abandoned agriculture. We must return to agriculture and invest heavily in it. It holds the key to addressing the challenges of poverty, unemployment, and insecurity”.
