He said the difficult economic reforms implemented by the Federal Government over the past three and a half years were necessary to address longstanding fiscal distortions and reposition the economy for sustainable growth.
According to the message, the reforms have contributed to economic growth of more than four per cent this year, lower inflation and increased non-oil export revenues.
The President said Nigeria had moved beyond the emergency phase of the reforms, with the government now focused on translating their gains into broader prosperity and improved living condition
The message also highlighted agricultural mechanisation and dry-season irrigation as key measures to boost food production, while stressing investment in roads, railways and ports to improve transportation and strengthen connections between farms and markets.
President Tinubu reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to policies that would increase productivity, expand economic opportunities and ensure that the benefits of economic growth reach more Nigerians.
The anniversary celebration also provided an opportunity for residents and officials in Anambra to reflect on Nigeria’s 66 years of independence, as well as the challenges and opportunities ahead in the country’s development.
