President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians of repositioning the education and health sectors.
Tinubu stressed that the ongoing reforms on the economy will be sustained and expanded, with a view to relieving families struggling with the burden of poverty and insecurity.
He said more creative and innovative policies will be unfolded and implemented in education, health sector, and other areas that directly impact the livelihood of Nigerians, like electricity sports, and energy.
The President made the vow in an interactive session with Nigerians living in France, including Real Madrid defender, David Alaba, in Paris on Friday, June 23.
“To all of you, our hope is renewed,” Tinubu said, welcoming a plethora of suggestions going forward for the economy, and explaining some of the short-term and long-term framework for providing growth opportunities for individuals, families, and institutions.

According to a statement issued by his spokesman, Dele Alake, President Tinubu said the interest of Nigerians will always be protected, even in engagements with the international community, governments, and multilateral institutions on global issues relating to climate change, energy transition, food security, trade, security, and diplomacy.
Tinubu said: “We have transport challenges, electricity challenges, infrastructural challenges, and others. I let out the giant elephant of fuel subsidy without bringing down the house.
“Our diversity is our asset, if we know how to use it.
“We must promote unity and stability for all. Whether you voted for me during the elections, or not, I am your President. I will work on your behalf to ensure a turning point of prosperity.
President Tinubu added that he was presented with an option of meeting with a handful of Nigerians in France, but he preferred a larger number, pledging to be persistent, determined, and focused on reforms for a better country.
Also speaking, Nigeria’s Ambassador to France, Kayode Laro, thanked Tinubu for accepting the proposal for the meeting with Nigerians on short notice and tight schedule, while the Chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Ereluwa introduced some of the experts in France.
“We have Nigerians who are doing great today among us. We also have the diaspora day and diaspora investment summit that provides opportunities for us to celebrate them, and attract new interests,” she said.
They further lauded Tinubu for taking “bold, decisive, and visionary” steps in fixing Nigeria’s economy.
