Tinubu said:
“I can’t complain about the job. I appreciate the gesture, and what you have told me this evening is very inspiring. Cut the costs. Fix the bends. Summon courage. Save the money, but push the economy. We will be there.
“There are some countries that have failed. There are some countries that have succeeded. In our time, in my time, all of us must work together to succeed.”
In separate remarks at the Ramadan dinner, industrialists, bank executives, and entrepreneurs pledged their support towards the success of the administration’s economic programmes.
