President Bola Tinubu has said that state governors in Nigeria are no longer using bank loans to pay their workers’ salaries under his administration.
The president made the remark during an interfaith Iftar gathering at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, which included religious and traditional leaders.
Tinubu mentioned that the financial situation his government inherited was very difficult, but the changes his team implemented have helped to improve the country’s financial stability.
He said, “Today, no governor in this country is going to banks to get loans just to pay workers’ salaries.
“When we took over, things were really hard and challenging. Today, I can proudly say that we have made it through and stopped Nigeria from going bankrupt.”
The president said his government will keep increasing support for important areas like farming and schools, to make sure young people have a better future.
He said, “We will continue to invest in key areas such as farming and education to create a better future for the next generation.”
Tinubu also mentioned that his government remains committed to making the country safer and improving the economy.
He said, “Our government is still dedicated to building a safer, more secure, and more prosperous country for all Nigerians.”
