He added, “We have no other choice; it is our nation. No other institution or personality will help us unless we do it ourselves. No amount of aid from foreign countries or any other nation (will fix us), they take care of themselves first. Let us work together as we are doing to build our nation, not only for us but for generations unborn.”

Tinubu had, on January 1, 2024, assented to the ₦28.7 trillion 2024 Appropriation Bill passed by the Senate.
