President Bola Tinubu, has for the umteempth time stood firm by his administration’s economic reforms.
He maintained that some of the decisions he made in 2023 were not to hurt Nigerians but to sustain healthy growth for the nation.
Tinubu disclosed this while playing host to a special envoy from the Amir of the State of Qatar, Dr Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Khulaifi at the State House in Abuja on Friday.
According to the president, ongoing reforms to streamline the country’s tax system had made it easier for foreign investors to do business in the country.
“We are making efforts to reform our tax system. Going by the experiences of the past and the need to depart from old ways, our reforms have been hard.
“I made tough decisions so that we could grow. We are gradually seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.”
The comments of Tinubu during the meeting were made available in a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga.
“You can’t find a better partner than Nigeria. I always follow the global issues and your efforts. You have to do more in Nigeria to help fight poverty in the humanitarian area.
“You have done well in developing a knowledge-based economy in Qatar, but what about Nigeria?”
