Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris Malagi, has urged Nigerians to exhibit patience regarding President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing reforms.
Emphasizing that President Tinubu has been in office for only seven months, Malagi stated on Channels TV Sunrise Daily that the tangible outcomes of the long-term plan take time to materialize.
He pointed out that the president’s vision is unequivocal—to lead Nigeria toward ‘the desired prosperity.’
“I want you to remember that the President is seven months old in office. I am not going to make excuses that seven months is just a short time.
“But for a long-term plan, you need a lot more time to put structures in place. But of course, as you trudge along, there will be shocks, turbulence, and occasional dislocations that you would find. But the vision of the president is very clear: he wants to take Nigeria to the desired prosperity,” he said.
Malagi further said that the Nigerian vision is to have a nation that is safe, secure, and equitable, and emphasizes merit.
According to him, it would be a tedious journey for Nigeria, and only the building blocks can be laid in seven months for the country to get to the desired point.
