My Administration’s Bold Policies Yielding Positive Results – Tinubu

…Says Ramadam Fasting Period For Sober Reflections

ABUJA – President Bola Tinubu has said his administration’s bold and transformative policies are beginning to yield positive results.

He said this is evidenced by the gradual stabilisation of the Nigerian economy.

The President made the remarks as part of message to Nigerians on the commencement of the Ramadam Fasting.

According to the President, the Gross Domestic Product for the last quarter of 2024 showed a marked improvement over the same period in 2023.

He said the once-soaring prices of essential food items are now downward, providing much-needed relief to our fasting population and all Nigerians.

Tinubu also said the exchange rate is stabilising, and fuel prices are declining, signalling a brighter future.

He said as the wet season approaches, the government remain steadfast in boosting agricultural productivity. “We are determined to enhance food production and ensure self-sufficiency and food security for all Nigerians through targeted input support, mechanisation, and innovative farming initiatives. Our resolve to build a resilient and prosperous nation remains unwavering.”

On the Ramadam season, Tinubu said its a sacred month, which should serve as time for sober reflections.

He said, “I call on all Nigerians to join hands in prayer and action for our beloved country’s continued growth and development. Let us fervently seek Allah’s guidance and protection for our nation, and let our words and deeds reflect our shared commitment to peace, unity, and progress.

“I congratulate the Muslim faithful in Nigeria and worldwide as we begin the sacred month of Ramadan.

“We are profoundly grateful to Almighty Allah for granting us the grace to witness the commencement of this holy month, a cornerstone of the Islamic faith. May this fasting and devotion period be marked by good health, spiritual fulfilment, and divine blessings.

“Ramadan is a time for deep reflection, renewed devotion to Allah, and acts of compassion and generosity toward humanity.

“It is a season of spiritual rejuvenation, self-discipline, and empathy for the less fortunate. I urge all Muslims observing the fast to embrace the profound lessons of piety, humility, and selflessness that this holy month embodies. Let us use this period to strengthen our bonds with Allah and one another, fostering unity and peace in our communities.

“This year’s Ramadan holds special significance as it coincides with a period of renewed hope and progress for our nation.

“I extend my heartfelt wishes to all Muslims observing Ramadan for a month filled with joy, peace, and spiritual renewal. May the blessings of this holy month illuminate our hearts and homes, and may we emerge from it as better individuals and a stronger nation. Ramadan Kareem!”
