Drawing a parallel between the spirit of sacrifice associated with Eid-el-Kabir and the hardships experienced by Nigerians under his administration’s reform policies, Tinubu said the measures are now beginning to deliver benefits.
According to him, the efforts made over the years have strengthened the economy and placed Nigeria on a path toward increased investment and development.
He stated that the period of hardship had begun to ease, expressing optimism that the country was entering a brighter phase.
Tinubu also voiced confidence that the ongoing reforms would continue to improve security and expand opportunities for citizens.
“By the grace of God, the reforms we have consistently implemented will continue to bring better security and create more opportunities for Nigerians,” he said.
Addressing insecurity, the President admitted that attacks by terrorists and bandits still persist in some parts of the country despite progress recorded by security agencies.
He referenced recent operational gains, including the joint Nigeria–United States operation that led to the killing of ISIS commander Abu-Bilal al-Manuki in the Lake Chad region.
Tinubu acknowledged the continued threat posed by criminal elements but assured affected communities that the government remained committed to restoring peace and defeating insurgents.
He said citizens facing insecurity had not been abandoned and reaffirmed the administration’s resolve to eliminate violent groups operating across the country.
The President further called on Muslim faithful to use the Eid celebration to offer prayers for peace, national unity, and wisdom for leaders at all levels.
He also encouraged acts of charity and support for vulnerable members of society during the festive period.
Tinubu urged Nigerians to pray that those involved in criminal activities would renounce violence or face legal consequences.
Reflecting on the significance of Eid-el-Kabir, he described the festival as a reminder of the virtues demonstrated by Prophet Ibrahim, particularly faith, obedience, sacrifice, and compassion.
He said the values associated with the celebration should inspire all Nigerians, regardless of religion, to embrace unity, selflessness, and concern for others.
The President added that his administration would continue investing in key sectors such as security, infrastructure, agriculture, and human capital development in pursuit of the country’s long-term potential.
