The All Progressives Congress (APC), has reiterated the commitment of President Bola Tinubu to delivering a progressively stronger, safer and more vibrant nation.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka, in a statement, yesterday, commended Nigerians for their continued patience with, and support of the administration for the past one year.

“Undaunted by prevalent deep-seated and existential challenges confronting the nation prior to his inauguration, the president stepped up with courage and bold determination to remake the fundamentals by tackling those challenges at their deepest roots.

“Announcing the termination of the fuel subsidy regime in his inaugural speech, the president dealt a decisive blow against what was probably the most potent threat to Nigeria’s economic survival.

“In the same intrepid manner, the president approved the harmonisation of existing multiple foreign exchange regimes that had become a gaping drain and  massive damper to economic growth and development,” he said.

Morka said this was quickly followed by a slew of other critical reforms, including the Oyelede Committee on Tax and Fiscal Policy Reform; and reconstituting the leadership of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

He also listed the directive to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) to remit its dollar earnings to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), waging a beneficial war against crude oil theft and improving on the country’s oil exports and earnings.

The APC spokesperson stressed that the president had been clear that some of the policies implemented by his administration would not be without pain, especially for the poorest and most vulnerable citizens of our country.

He assured the people that the administration would continue to prioritise the welfare of citizens.
