Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim, has urged Nigerians to unite behind President Bola Tinubu\u2019s economic and security reform agenda, describing the administration\u2019s ongoing efforts as crucial to the nation\u2019s stability and long-term development.\n<\/p>\n
In a statement issued on Friday, the senator said the President\u2019s policies on economic restructuring and national security require the collective commitment of citizens if they are to achieve their intended impact.\n<\/p>\n
Drawing from global military history, Ibrahim noted that the United States has undertaken 469 military interventions since 1798, including 251 between 1991 and the present, to underscore the importance of strategic action in safeguarding national interests.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cNo nation enjoys absolute sovereignty. From pandemics to cross-border threats, global challenges demand collaboration and vigilance,\u201d he said, commending Tinubu for taking proactive steps to secure Nigeria\u2019s borders while simultaneously working to stimulate economic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe President\u2019s vision ensures security, economic expansion, and opportunities for all. Love for our country must guide us through these defining moments,\u201d he added.\n<\/p>\n
Ibrahim further urged Nigerians to rally behind the administration, insisting that patriotism and unity remain vital ingredients for sustainable development, improved security, and Nigeria\u2019s growing influence on the global stage. <\/p>\n
\u201cWith shared determination and support for ongoing reforms, the country is well-positioned to strengthen its security architecture, grow its economy, and assert itself as a formidable force in world affairs,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
PUNCH Online reports that Tinubu\u2019s administration has embarked on sweeping economic and security reforms since assuming office in May 2023.\n<\/p>\n
Key among these measures are the removal of petrol subsidy, unification of the exchange rate, renewed efforts to attract foreign investment, and the ongoing overhaul of the security apparatus to combat banditry, terrorism, and other criminal activities.\n<\/p>\n
While the reforms have sparked nationwide debate over short-term hardship, the government insists they are necessary to stabilise the economy and reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth.\n<\/p>\n
Several political leaders, including Ibrahim, have publicly defended the reforms, calling for patience and collective support as the policies continue to unfold.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Senator representing Ondo South, Jimoh Ibrahim, has urged Nigerians to unite behind President Bola Tinubu\u2019s economic and security…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":289959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[84,1294,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-289958","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-economy","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=289958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/289958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/289959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=289958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=289958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=289958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
