The Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, says President Bola Tinubu is on the right track to take Nigeria out of its present socio-economic problems.
Gwarzo made the remark in his Eid-el-Kabir message to Nigerians distributed to newsmen on Saturday by his SA Media, Malam Adamu Abdullahi.
“President Bola Tinubu is on the right track to take the country out of the socio-economic problems inherited from the previous administrations in the country.So many positive policies have been initiated to better the lives of the citizens,”the statement said.
It said that the Tinubu administration had initiated programmes which have directly impacted on the people such as the Social Housing Fund Scheme, Conditional Cash Transfer and the Food Outreach programme of the First Lady, all with a view to improving the quality of lives of the citizens.
The minister, however,expressed concern over the security challenges facing the nation, but assured Nigerians that President Tinubu would continue to do his best to secure the country from all forms of insecurity.
He congratulated all Muslims on the occasion of this year’s Eid-el-Kabir and urged Nigerians to imbibe the spirit of peace, kindness and have confidence in the Tinubu administration.
He said the country needs fervent prayers and sacrifice to overcome the challenges militating against its progress and development.
He appealed to the Muslim communities in the country to reflect on the sacrifice they made during the festive period for the development of the country.
Gwarzo then urged Nigerian pilgrims currently performing Hajj in Saudi Arabia to pray for the country and the success of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, and prayed for their safe return from the Holy land.
