Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has admitted that Nigerians are going through hardship as the economic reforms of his father’s administration take effect.
He spoke on Monday at the inaugural Seyi Tinubu Colloquium, held at Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos.
Seyi said every generation inherits a country with existing problems, but must make decisions that improve life for those who come after it. According to him, the Tinubu administration chose to confront Nigeria’s challenges rather than leave them for the next generation.
He named the removal of the petrol subsidy, the reform of the foreign exchange system and the overhaul of the tax structure as the main policies driving the country’s economic direction.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not choose the Nigeria he inherited from his predecessors, yet his administration chose to confront the challenges of our nation, not for itself alone, but for the benefit of those who come next, for us, the young generation,” he said.
“Removing the fuel subsidy, reforming the foreign exchange system and overhauling taxation are decisions about how Nigeria earns, spends and creates opportunities.
“Changes have not been easy. Families whose budgets have been stretched, the pain was immediate, the lasting improvement more difficult to feel and touch, yet they are no less real.”
He added that the benefits of today’s reforms would be felt by future generations.
“A road built today will serve people who are still children. An institution strengthened today can protect opportunities for Nigerians yet unborn.
“I support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reforms because we will inherit a future built by leaders of today.
“That is why I also believe we have the responsibility to participate in the leadership and ensure that what is decided today will benefit all of us tomorrow,” he said.
