President Bola Tinubu on Monday said he won’t rest until Nigerians feel the positive impact of his reforms in their pockets and enjoy a better standard of living.
The president said this while reacting to the newly released third-quarter Gross Domestic Product (GDP) report by the National Bureau of Statistics.
Nigeria’s GDP grew by 3.46 per cent, compared to the 3.19% growth recorded in the second quarter, according to the NBS.
A statement by Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare stated that the growth in GDP showed that President Tinubu’s quest for a more robust boost in the economy and, by extension, a better standard of living for all Nigerians is on course.
Tinubu said his administration has not and will never forget his promise of a $1 trillion economy by 2030.
“Once the economy is rebased by early 2025 to capture its dynamism and record significant changes that have occurred in different sectors, the country will be on its way to shared prosperity.
“I am excited by the latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics that our economy grew in the third quarter more than last quarter and even beyond projected estimates.
“While I welcome this development, the latest figure also shows the much work that needs to be done.
“We won’t rest until Nigerians feel the positive impacts in their pockets and experience a better living standard. My administration remains committed to the welfare of our people,” Tinubu said.
