President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has told Nigerians that there is no free beer parlour anymore.
He said the people must work hard, focusing on agriculture and should be patient with the government.
Tinubu said his administration was in the process of retooling and rebuilding the country’s economy and should be given the time to achieve this.
Tinubu made this known when the Forum of Former Presiding Officers of the National Assembly, led by former Senate President Ken Nnamani, paid him a visit in Abuja.
“People say we’re hungry; yes, I understand that. We don’t want to keep the people hungry and angry, but we say be patient— we must work hard. There is no free beer parlour anymore. We’ll retool and rebuild Nigeria’s economy,” said President Tinubu.
The President is saying this at a time Nigerians grapple with economic hardship occasioned by the twin policies of fuel subsidy removal and Naira floating.
