President Bola Ahmed Tinubu said more reliable electricity could help Nigerian businesses raise output and support industrial expansion and job creation, in remarks at a Dutse campaign rally, BusinessDay reported.
His remarks presented electricity as a resource companies need to increase production and expand their workforces. Tinubu linked those aims to his administration’s broader industrial development agenda and said the government would keep pursuing development despite the country’s challenges.
Tinubu urged Nigerians not to be discouraged by criticism of his policies. He called misleading the claim that the government’s policies had produced no benefits, BusinessDay reported.
He also said government investment should improve prospects for younger Nigerians. BusinessDay said Tinubu thanked attendees and dignitaries representing several parts of Nigeria, then recognized Jigawa State officials, the vice president and Senate leaders.
