President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged Nigerians to embrace hard work and patience, stating that the era of “free beer parlour” is over.
He emphasized that citizens should focus on agriculture and other productive sectors to help revitalize the economy.
Tinubu made these remarks while addressing the Forum of Former Presiding Officers of the National Assembly, led by former Senate President Ken Nnamani, during their visit to Abuja.
The President assured Nigerians that his administration is actively working to retool and rebuild the nation’s economy, but stressed the need for time and patience to achieve meaningful progress.
“People say we’re hungry; yes, I understand that. We don’t want to keep the people hungry and angry, but we say be patient— we must work hard. There is no free beer parlour anymore. We’ll retool and rebuild Nigeria’s economy,” said President Tinubu.
