He, however, pleaded with the citizens to have faith in his ability to deliver, noting that Nigeria would be better equipped and able to take advantage of the future that awaits her.

The president stated: “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 will work. Sadly, there was an avoidable lag between subsidy removal and these plans coming fully online.
