President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the current economic hardship will soon give way to prosperity and growth.

He gave the assurance on Thursday during the coronation of a former Oyo State governor, Rashidi Ladoja, as the 44th Olubadan of Ibadanland.

“Today I am honoured and very proud to give you cheering news that the economy has turned the corner.

“There is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Your suffering is a pain, a pain of a painful surgery, but it has now returned to the moment of growth, and prosperity is awaiting us ahead,” Tinubu said.

He thanked the people of Ibadan for their support during the 2023 presidential election and praised their resilience during ongoing reforms.

Since assuming office in May 2023, Tinubu has introduced sweeping economic reforms.
