Kaduna State governor, Senator Uba Sani, yesterday frowned against those politicising President Bola Tinubu’s reforms, saying the reforms are meant to prevent the economy from collapsing.
Speaking at the 48th National Council on Information and National Orientation in Kaduna, Sani said the current administration inherited a comatose economy.
This, he said, warranted the innovative and creative solutions of the President to reinvent the economy and put the nation on the path to sustainable growth and development.
While acknowledging some of the pains that come along with the reforms, the governor said they are being implemented with good intentions, for the greater good of Nigerian people.
He said: “Our dear President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR assumed office at a trying time in the nation’s history. He inherited a near -comatose economy.
“He therefore has the unenviable task of initiating and implementing far-reaching measures to prevent the Nigerian economy from collapse. Because of global economic meltdown and years of mismanagement in Nigeria, fixing our economy requires time and sustained re-engineering.
“That is why Mr. President has come up with innovative and creative solutions to reinvent the economy and put our nation irreversibly on the path to sustainable growth and development. Although some of the measures have been painful, they are being implemented with good intentions, for the greater good of the Nigerian people. As a Father of the nation, President Tinubu has continued to renew our hope in the possibilities of the Nigerian nation.”
He therefore charged information managers to help communicate the background of the reforms to the people.
He said: “Information Managers have a responsibility to effectively communicate Mr. President’s Reform Agenda to the Nigerian people. We must fashion a robust Communications Strategy to carry out this important task. We must give the people the background to the reforms, what it is all about, and the benefits therein. “We must be patient with the people and break things down for them. Messages should be crafted in a way that takes care of the peculiarities of different audiences. We need the buy-in of the people in what we do. The people are our pillar of support.”
