President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerian women that his
administration is committed to ensuring that the country is retrieved from the
vested interests that have stifled its growth.
In a statement, Dele Alake, special adviser to the president
on special duties, communications and strategy, said Tinubu spoke on Thursday
at the state house when he received the All Progressives Congress (APC) women
leaders in the 36 states and federal capital territory.
Betta Edu, APC national woman leader, led the delegation.
Tinubu also assured the women that issues of security,
healthcare system, and industrialization would be treated as priorities.
Tinubu said his administration already implemented many
policies and programmes that would positively impact citizens.
He said policies include the students’ loan scheme that
would ensure stable academic calendars in tertiary institutions.
“We have established a scholarship scheme that would
guarantee their four years of tertiary education,” he said.
“Security is
paramount in my administration’s agenda because women bear the cost of
insecurity anywhere in the world. Issues of insecurity are being discussed at
the highest level and this administration will ensure that insecurity is halted
immediately.
“Medicare is another. We will ensure that health facilities
are revamped and we will pursue this with vigour.
Industrialization is yet another priority as your children
and relations will gain employment.”
Tinubu also praised the women leaders for their support
during the campaigns and elections, adding that they all deserve awards for
their efforts.
“You all deserve gold medals because you worked so hard
politically, overcoming so many obstacles like the fuel scarcity and naira
confiscation,” he said.
Tiinubu promised that their children would receive better
rewards as their future is now guaranteed with the initiatives being put in
place.
“We will continue to strive for a better Nigeria. You will
not regret your confidence in this administration,” he added.
Reaffirming his administration’s open-door policy, Tinubu
said the unity of the country is essential and central to his mind.
