Former Minister of Aviation, Sen. Stella Oduah has assured that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration was steadily strengthening and repositioning the nation’s economy for sustainable stability and real visible growth.
The former Minister gave the assurance at the weekend while addressing the Igbo Business Community in Abuja.
This came as she lauded the President for his manifest commitment towards the infrastructural development of the South East, as well as the recognition, acceptance and inclusion of the region in governance.
Oduah also commended Tinubu and the national leadership of the APC for appointing the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma as the Coordinator of the Party’s activities in the South East region.
According to her, she joined the APC recently because of Uzodimma’s appointment as well as his efforts in bringing federal presence and development to the region on the platform of the APC.
Emphasizing that the Tinubu administration was not given to loud hypes, self-praise, and showboating, Oduah said that the achievements of the administration were non-speculative but real and verifiable
Oduah described the policy thrust of the administration as practical, methodical and strategically geared towards unlocking the nation’s productive potential and reigniting creativity with huge employment opportunities in all spheres for innovative Nigerians, particularly the youths.
She stressed that with the steady implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda and the embracing of its principles by Nigerians, the hardship being faced in the country would soon be a thing of the past.
“President Tinubu is a listening leader and silent achiever. He is not given to propaganda, media hype, and showboating. He is focused on the mandate, and his achievements are non-speculative but real and verifiable.
“His policies are practical methodical and strategically geared towards unlocking the productive potentials of the nation. With the steady implementation of the Renewed Hope Agenda and its acceptance by Nigerians, this administration is silently reigniting the ingenuity of Nigerians and creating massive job opportunities, especially for our youths in every sphere of the economy.”
She commended the President for keeping to his 30 per cent affirmative action on youth inclusion in appointments and participation in governance in addition to approving the release of N60 billion for the benefit of the youths under the Agric Investment and Small and Medium Enterprises Scheme.
According to Oduah, such initiatives point to the President’s significant commitment towards unlocking and harnessing the potentials of the Nigerian youths and repositioning them for higher productivity, self-sufficiency and global competitiveness in all critical sectors.
She also applauded Tinubu for his bold efforts in clearing the inherited $7 billion foreign exchange backlog, which she said has started reflecting in the strengthening of the Naira and overall recovery of the national economy.
On Party activities, Oduah stressed that the appointment of the Imo state Governor has further endeared the South East to the APC given Uzodimma’s popularity in the region due to his achievements in government adding that with him as APC coordinator in the South East, the Party would further penetrate and take complete leadership of the region in the next round of elections.
“I joined the APC because of the appointment of Governor Uzodimma as the Coordinator of the Party in the South East and his ability to bring federal presence and development to the South East. Governor Uzodimma has made the South East to embrace the APC. Many more leaders in the southeast are joining the APC because of him”, Oduah said.
The Anambra-born senator insisted that the Southeast East has a lot to benefit from a government which values, promotes and supports creativity, quest for productivity and inclusiveness.
