Tinubu urged the Nigerian envoy to remain focused on his diplomatic assignment and avoid distractions.

“Your capacity is exceedingly reliable, and your performance at the United Nations is very impressive. You have achieved a lot at the UN within a short period. I am very proud of that,” the President said.

He added, “I want you to work harder and secure a seat for Nigeria at the UN Security Council.”

The President also said his administration’s economic reforms had continued to attract global recognition and assured Nigerians that the benefits would become more evident in the coming months.

According to Tinubu, increasing interest from multinational companies in Nigeria reflects growing confidence in the country’s economic direction and the collective efforts of Nigerians to support the government’s reform agenda.

“I could say the economy of our nation has passed through its darkest tunnel. We will continue to push for improvement. The economic recovery is here, proudly. We are running a very stable economy right now,” he said.

Tinubu disclosed that he had approved additional funding for the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) using funds recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

He also highlighted improvements in the education sector and national security.

“We have a production line going on well; we just need to stimulate the economy for growth. We can beat our chests with the bragging rights—no more ASUU strikes. Today, our children are in school. Security is getting better, not worse,” he said.

The President urged the research group to continue producing policy recommendations that would strengthen Nigeria politically and economically.

In his remarks, Ibrahim commended Tinubu’s leadership, describing the administration’s reforms as instrumental in improving Nigeria’s international image and attracting foreign investment.

He attributed his achievements at the United Nations to the President’s support and pledged to work towards securing Nigeria a seat on the UN Security Council.
