According to the Minister, the reforms initiated by Mr. President have started improving the lives of Nigerians as the economic growth in Q1 2024 was the second fastest first-quarter growth in the last six years.
Defence strategy as enshrined in the Renewed Hope Agenda in improving security is yielding result as well.
“There is serious improvement in security as most of the roads and highways hitherto closed due to insecurity have been opened. Herders and farmers clashes have been solved by the creation of Livestock Ministry and many farmers have returned to their farms.
Mr. President is supporting the farmers and has encouraged State Governors to do same. Also, there is massive surrendering of terrorists and high profile terrorist kingpins have been arrested.
While acknowledging the democratic right to protest, the Minister cautioned against using the protest to cause mayhem, emphasizing that the proposed August 1 protest is poorly timed given the positive turnaround in the economy.
