President Bola Tinubu has expressed happiness that no state in Nigeria is struggling to pay workers’ salaries as it was before his inauguration on May 29, 2024.
The president said this on Friday in Lagos when he received members of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, led by Vice President Kashim Shettima, on a Sallah homage at his Lagos residence.
According to him: “Today, I was watching some clips of the Sokoto-Badagry corridor. Imagine how many dams could be built along that corridor for irrigation, farming, and electricity generation. Many of you have survived and promoted the perseverance of our people, encouraging them to trust in this government.
“You have built that trust around one person: my leadership. I thank you very much. I am truly grateful. I cannot express enough how thankful I am to Almighty God that we are here together to share our thoughts and developmental programs.
“I am glad that out of the 27 governors borrowing from the federal government and asking for interventions, we are no longer struggling to pay salaries. No more.”
