President Bola Tinubu has charged members of his cabinet and other top public service officials with working together to rewrite the narrative of Nigeria and bring economic prosperity to the country.
The president made the remarks during the concluding ceremony of a three-day cabinet retreat held at the State House Conference Centre in Abuja.
He also received a guarantee from them that they would work for Nigerians and collaborate to achieve national goals.
Tinubu said: “Since we are one family and one nation, and we are in this vehicle together, to change the narrative and bring about economic prosperity of our country; are we ready?”
“Poverty is not a shameful thing but it’s not just acceptable. If you check your history, there’s a trace of poverty in it but we should find a way to dig ourselves out of it,” Tinubu added. “So, it is left for you and me to navigate his ship out of poverty. We have a lot of work ahead of us.”
