Tinubu commended state governors, particularly those of Borno, Katsina and Kaduna, for what he described as their resilience and cooperation in safeguarding lives, property and the nation’s freedom.
“I am leaving here again to further find means to strengthen our security forces to defeat terrorism and banditry, that I promise you,” the president said.
He described insecurity as a major economic burden on the country, noting that failure to address it continues to hamper national development.
“It is what has kept all of us sleepless at night, but I assure you that we will win with determination and resilience. We will overcome this unacceptable terrorism and banditry. It is not part of our culture; it is foreign to us,” Tinubu added.
Speaking on the economy, the president said his administration is intensifying efforts to strengthen macroeconomic stability and lay the foundation for inclusive growth.
According to him, the government is improving revenue generation, strengthening public financial management and enhancing fiscal coordination.
“We have prioritised infrastructure development across transportation, power, digital connectivity, housing and irrigation as catalysts for inclusive growth,” Tinubu said.
He stressed that sustained economic reforms and security improvements remain central to achieving sustainable national development.
