President Bola Tinubu has said that the Nigerian economy is out of the woods and out of the dark tunnel of uncertainty.

 

 

 

The President said this while hosting state governors for the breaking of an interfaith fast at the Presidential Villa on Monday night, February 23. In his speech, President Tinubu mentioned that state police will soon become a reality.

 

 

 

In his words;

 

“We are out of the woods. Out of the dark tunnel of uncertainty. The economy is showing up. Let’s help the unemployed. What I promise you will not be postponed. We will establish a state police to combat insecurity. Start looking around you.

 

To reach the young man who feels forgotten. To lift the woman who carries her family on tired shoulders. To touch the communities at the grassroots, where hope sometimes flickers. Development must not recognise religion. Compassion must not recognise tribe. Opportunity must not recognise status.

 

I am determined to rescue this country. And as long as we work together in delivering hope to our citizens, the best is yet to come for Nigeria. What I promised Nigerians will not be postponed.

 

Security is the foundation of prosperity. Without it, farms cannot flourish, businesses cannot grow, and families cannot sleep in peace.

 

We will establish state police to curb insecurity. This is not about politics. It is about practicality. It is about empowering states with the tools to protect their people while strengthening our national framework. We must be bold enough to reform what is not working. We must be united enough to protect what we hold dear.’’
