Nigerians have no reason to be poor – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu on Friday said Nigerians do not have any reason to be poor.

He stated this while receiving governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, asking them to design and implement policies that prioritise all Nigerians and to always consider the national interest above political affiliations.

“We have no reason to be poor. Looking back on where we are coming from, where we have been, why we are facing infrastructural decay, a lack of quality and comprehensive education, as well as a lack of health facilities. We are not a cursed country, but blessed,” the President was quoted in a statement by his media aide, Ajuri Ngelale.
