President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to defeating terrorism and strengthening diplomatic ties with Nigeria’s global partners.
“We are engaging the world diplomatically, and we assure all of you that we will defeat terrorism. . The task ahead is to move forward with clarity of purpose guided by the Renewed Hope agenda to build a prosperous Nigeria,” the President declared just before the Federal Executive Council entered a closed-door session on Thursday.
The meeting, held at the Council Chamber of the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, is the first gathering of the council since July.
His remarks come days after U.S. President Donald Trump designated Nigeria as a ‘Country of Particular Concern,’ a move the Federal Government has described as a misrepresentation of the nation’s security situation.
“Despite political headwinds and fears, we will continue to engage with our partners.
“The success of the $2.3bn Eurobond, which was oversubscribed, is a sign of confidence in our economy.
“The task ahead is immense, but we are resolved to move forward with unity and purpose,” he said.
The president also assured Nigerians that the country remains united and resolute in its pursuit of peace and prosperity.
Tinubu commended members of his cabinet for their commitment to his Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasising the need for unity and focus in implementing government reforms.
