In a video released by the State House on August 7, 2024, Tinubu acknowledged the difficulties caused by the removal of the fuel subsidy.
He admitted that the “avoidable lag” between the subsidy removal and the implementation of his “good and helpful plans” has exacerbated the suffering of Nigerians.
He said, “Fellow Nigerians, this period may be hard on us and there’s no doubt that it is tough on us but I urge you all to look beyond the present temporary pains and aim at the larger picture. All our good and helpful plans are in the works.
“More importantly, I know that they would work. Sadly, there was an avoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully on line.”
The president assured that the measures his government has taken would get the country out of the lingering economic crisis, urging Nigerians to have faith in his administration.
He added, “I plead with you, please, have faith in our ability to deliver and in our concern for your well-being.
“We will get out of this turbulence and due to the measures we have taken, Nigeria will be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.
“For example, we shall fulfill our promise to make education more affordable to all and provide loans to higher education students who may need them.
“No Nigerian students will have to abandon higher education system because of lack of money.
