Lagos, Jan. 3, ’25 (TNZ) The leadership of the Conference of 57 Local Governments/Local Councils in Lagos State have eulogised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, assuring he would elevate Nigeria into a group of developed nations.
TheNewsZenith reports that the Chairman of Conference 57, Kolade Alabi, made the remarks when he led the council chairmen on a visit to President Tinubu, on Friday, in Lagos.
He expressed confidence that the country would soon see improvements.
Alabi noted that the President is well-informed about the events and developments occurring both around him and across the nation.
“We are impressed with the fact that he (Tinubu) is in good spirits.
“He displayed a high level of understanding of the issues in the country and showed clear ways of resolving them.
“President Tinubu didn’t mince words on his strategies to improve the economic situation of the country.
“For the first time in the history of our country, we have a president who is better prepared for the job,” TheNewsZenith quotes the Conference leader as saying.
Alabi, a former National President of the Association of Local Governments in Nigeria (ALGON), spoke glowingly about the achievements of President Tinubu in the last 18 months in office.
“Within two years of President Tinubu’s tenure, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has fixed two of the four state-owned oil refineries.

“President Tinubu achieved this as against what many had disparagingly regarded as impossible.
“His government has increased crude oil production, with an expected inflow of foreign currency into the country account and growth in the foreign reserves.”
Alabi described the ongoing construction of the Lagos-Calabar and Sokoto-Badagry superhighways as another iconic move by Tinubu’s administration.
According to him, President Tinubu has made bold decisions that his predecessors thought were unimaginable.
“It is not surprising, therefore, that ThisDay Media Group nominated President Tinubu as “ThisDay Man of the Year” for 2024.
Alabi said Mr President’s reforms and the stabilisation of Nigeria’s macroeconomic environment were proving fruitful and beneficial.
This is despite whatever short-term hardship they may have caused.
“The achievements show that this administration knows what to do to alleviate poverty and uplift the spirit of Nigerians.
“We cannot but appeal to the people to also support the administration to ensure that the agenda of Renewed Hope is completely achieved,” TheNewsZenith quoted Alabi as saying.
