President Bola Tinubu’s recent policy moves aimed at revitalizing Nigeria’s economy have earned praise from leaders in the private sector. Tony Elumelu, who serves as the Chairman of HEIRS Holdings and Transcorp PLC, shared these sentiments with reporters after a meeting with the president at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Elumelu acknowledged that President Tinubu’s decisions have been well-considered and in the best interest of the nation. He highlighted that these steps have generated positive feedback from the private sector, indicating their approval of the direction being taken.
Furthermore, Elumelu emphasized that the policy choices made by President Tinubu are particularly advantageous for all segments of Nigeria’s population, especially women and young people. He expressed confidence that these decisions will ultimately contribute to the country’s progress.
Elumelu said: “The private sector is encouraged with the bold decisions President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken and we hope that in the fullness of time, Nigerians will benefit from it because it’s all about the Nigerian people, it’s all about our youths, it’s all about making sure our women are involved and empowered.
“It’s all about making sure our youths get jobs and I think Mr President has this at the back of his mind and I believe, as a private sector person, that the actions and the decisions the President is taking now will help our people in the long run,” he said.
He appealed to Nigerians to be more patience with the president and the ongoing process, saying “a bit of patience, you know Rome was not built in a day”.
