The President promised to address foundational challenges and create a fair and equitable system, saying, “To empower the people, we must invest in the future of our youths. We have seen the problems parents face in training their children in school; it is the reason why we established the National Student Loan Programme, which is taking off well.”

Tinubu also emphasized the need to boost the purchasing power of citizens, declaring, “If we remove the cash upfront element to buy a car or a house, we will reduce the propensity for fraud and corruption across the land.”

Addressing the issue of security, the President took a firm stance, warning, “Those who think they can threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria will have themselves to blame. They have a price to pay. And we are not going to relent.”
