Nigeria President, Bola Tinubu, has once again stood firm by
his administration’s economic reforms.
The President insisted that some of the decisions he made on
assumption of office in 2023 were not to hurt Nigerians but to sustain healthy
growth for the country.
Tinubu, who took over from Muhammadu Buhari about two years
ago, said this while playing host to a special envoy from the Amir of the State
of Qatar, Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi at the State House in Abuja on
Friday.
According to the Nigerian leader, ongoing reforms to
streamline the country’s tax system had made it easier for foreign investors to
do business in the country.
The President 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.”
The President’s 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.
Tinubu believes that Nigeria’s partnership with the Arab
giants could be improved by looking into food sovereignty and economic
prosperity, indicating readiness of his country to build on the momentum
generated by his state visit to Qatar in 2024.
