Support President Tinubu’s Administration Policies – NOA urges Nigerians

The National Orientation Agency (NOA) has called on Nigerians to support the Tinubu-led administration’s policies, programmes, and activities in 2024 as part of efforts to unlock increased growth and development in Africa’s most populous country.

The Director General of the NOA, Mallam Lanre Issa-Onilu, reassured Nigerians that the national financial sector is being repositioned to meet the country’s aspiration for a trillion-dollar economy, which would benefit all Nigerians in an inclusive economic framework.

Issa-Onilu stated that the current administration has initiated several policies, programmes and activities to ensure that Nigeria regains her pride of place among world nations.

“The removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit has released Nigeria’s economy from the debilitating stranglehold of a questionable subsidy regime, resulting in savings for reinvestment in critical sectors,” he said.

Issa-Onilu also mentioned the overhaul of Nigeria’s National Security architecture with the appointment of new security chiefs, which has resulted in the increased onslaught on the non-state actors troubling our nation across the country.

He also highlighted the creation of a Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy as a definitive step towards harnessing the great potential of Nigeria’s blue economy.

“This, together with the reinvigoration of our solid mineral sector through effective and proactive leadership, the new initiatives in dry season farming, and support to farmers will lead to the desired diversification of our economy,” he said.

Issa-Onilu also stated that the government is keen on putting a stop to ASUU strikes.

“It is part of the reasons that the President signed the Students Loan Act, granted the wish of ASUU to remove universities from IPPIS, and is working with stakeholders to grant autonomy to public universities,” Issa-Onilu said.

The NOA’s call for support comes as Nigeria begins a promising year in 2024, with the current administration working to ensure the country regains its pride of place among world nations.
