Former Lagos State Governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has once again reaffirmed his commitment to the economic reforms implemented by his administration.
He emphasized that the decisions taken at the start of his tenure in 2023 were not intended to inflict hardship on Nigerians, but rather to ensure the country’s long-term economic stability and growth.
Tinubu, who succeeded Muhammadu Buhari nearly two years ago, made these remarks on Friday while receiving a special envoy from the Amir of the State of Qatar, Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi, at the State House in Abuja.
According to him, ongoing reforms to streamline the country’s tax system had made it easier for foreign investors to do business in the country.
Tinubu said, “We are making efforts to reform our tax system. Going by the experiences of the past and the need to depart from old ways, our reforms have been hard.
“I made tough decisions so that we could grow. We are gradually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.”
His comments during the meeting were relayed in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
“You can’t find a better partner than Nigeria. I always follow the global issues and your efforts. You have to do more in Nigeria to help fight poverty in the humanitarian area.
“You have done well in developing a knowledge-based economy in Qatar, but what about Nigeria?” He asked.
