…calls for mindset shift to curb economic sabotage

 

Oredola Adeola

 

President Bola Tinubu has condemned the alarming rate of theft and sabotage of Nigeria’s infrastructure, including the widespread theft of electric cables, removal of rail tracks, and other forms of vandalism that are hindering the nation’s economic development.

The President spoke in Lagos when he received a delegation from the National Assembly who came to felicitate with him on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir on Monday evening.

Chief Ajuri Ngelale, Special Adviser to the President, Media & Publicity, confirmed this in a statement obtained by Advisors Reports on Tuesday, on the sideline of the President’s Eid-el-Kabir meeting with the NASS delegation led by Senator Godswill Akpabio, President of the Senate.

According to President Tinubu, Nigerians must have a change of value system if the nation is to make progress.

President Tinubu challenged citizens to have a change of mindset about Nigeria if the nation is to overcome its current challenges.

He said, “The need (for some citizens) to change the rent-seeking mindset and become more productive to the economy is a challenge. The need to stop smuggling and all economic sabotage.

“Why should we have people removing rail tracks and all that, stealing electric cables and sabotaging the economy? We must embrace the campaign to change our value system.

“We must tell our people that the challenge we face is for all of us to change our mindset about our country.

“Good economics at a harsh time is the challenge that we must face. As I said in my speech, no matter how difficult it is and how challenging it can be, I will not turn my back on Nigeria,” the President stated.

The President commended the leadership of the National Assembly for the support extended to his administration, which has resulted in some of the important developments recorded by his administration.

“It is a great pride for me to have the best of partners in the National Assembly. We have to drill down and be all-inclusive in our bid to satisfy our people. It is daunting, but we cannot run away from the fact that this country must survive the hardship,” the President stated.

President Tinubu acknowledged the challenges and the task ahead, assuring the nation of his unwavering determination to turn things around.

“Yes, there is poverty; there is suffering in the land. We are not the only people facing such, but we must face our challenges. We must find a way to eliminate banditry and terrorism so that farmers can bring out food from the farmland.

“If you do not have good roads to bring the food to the population, even if you grow the food and you are losing 60-70 percent to damages, you will pay the price,” President Tinubu said.

Godswill Akpabio, in his remark after the meeting, said he came with the leadership of the National Assembly to pay homage and felicitate with the President on the occasion of Eid-el-Kabir and to thank him for the purposeful leadership in the first year of his administration.
