President Bola Tinubu said Nigeria was at a “critical juncture” and “dizzying crossroads” when he took up the reins of government on May 29, 2023.
During Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day Anniversary on October 1, 2024, the President said the country’s situation when he came into office necessitated that the country chooses between “reform for progress and prosperity or carry on business-as-usual and collapse”.
Tinubu said his administration decided to reform Nigeria’s political economy and defense architecture for the nation to survive.
The President also saluted the doggedness of the Nigerian people, saying the country has survived crises that disintegrated other nations.
