President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the reforms introduced by his administration are beginning to yield positive results, despite prevailing economic and global challenges.
The President made this known in a personal message released on Sunday to mark his 74th birthday.
“As I mark this special day, I am reminded of the challenges we’ve faced since we initiated our reforms. I’m glad that our sacrifices have not been in vain as we can see some glittering light at the end of the tunnel, despite the temporary setback caused by the ongoing Middle East crisis,” Tinubu said.
“The credit for the positive outcomes we have achieved does not belong solely to me, our Renewed Hope team and our government. We achieved the gains together.”
The Commander-in-Chief also explained his decision to observe his birthday quietly, citing the current national mood and the challenges confronting the country.
He expressed appreciation to Nigerians for their goodwill, prayers, and continued support, noting that such gestures remain a source of encouragement for his administration.
“Consistent with my tradition of marking my birthday in line with the mood of the nation, I resolved to observe this year’s birthday in a low-key manner.
“Today, as I clock another year on the journey of life, I’m filled with joy and gratitude for the opportunity to serve this great nation.
“I want to take this moment to thank Nigerians for their messages, show of love and prayers on the occasion of my 74th birthday.
“To those who have taken space in newspapers or paid for air time on radio and television to wish me well, I thank you immensely,” he said.
The President also acknowledged the support of his wife, Oluremi Tinubu, and Vice President Kashim Shettima for their kind remarks and encouragement.
