OPINION BY ABDUL KEEM: What I would tell Nigerians on May 29 if I were to be Asiwaju | TheCable
BY ABDUL KEEM
Fellow Nigerians, today marks the dawn of a new day for us as a people. One that will eclipse the clouds of our excesses as a people, as we strive to cut a clear path for our system. One that is unique to our challenges as much as it is to our opportunities. I stand before you to pledge reconciliation, to serve, “without malice towards anyone yet clarity towards everyone”.Today the mandate is given to me by all Nigerians men and women, young and old and our children, to serve, protect and bring renewed hope. I will not misuse my chance to write history for, I, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, understand the pain of defeat and failure.
I will be the bearer of reform for social justice and the advocator of equality. I wish to leave a legacy of viable socio-economic development industrial planning, and reform in agriculture, social services, legislature, and civil services across the public and private sectors. My government is open to developing Nigeria’s manufacturing and transportation sectors, by which we can solve the persistent problem of commuting our people as well as goods and services, safely and sustainably for a more prosperous economy that spurs growth for indigenous companies, and attracts foreign investments. We will, therefore, align ourselves to progressive economic goals that our children will be thankful for.
We will strive towards greater exportation of products and goods, but rest assured of our commitment to encourage Nigerian entrepreneurs in rural and urban areas, whilst developing adequate infrastructure so they can compete confidently on the global stage. It’s time to agree, once and for all, that we cannot remain a consumer nation, but we must boost our capacity to produce and further diversify our economic interests to other sectors apart from oil.
With the renewed hope that you the Nigerian youth have provided, we are confident in our ability to reclaim our lost glory and tap our potential as a nation to the fullest through honest enterprise, and the unity of preference for continuous innovation and new perspectives on resolving our common issues.
