A former National Chairman of the Youth Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (YOWICAN), Belusochukwu Enwere, has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 74th birthday, commending his leadership, economic reforms, and efforts to reposition Nigeria for sustainable growth.
In a goodwill message released on Saturday, Enwere described President Tinubu as a “visionary leader whose bold decisions are gradually reshaping Nigeria’s economic and governance landscape.”
He noted that despite initial challenges associated with ongoing reforms, the President has demonstrated courage and commitment to long-term national development.
Enwere particularly praised Tinubu’s economic policies, including the removal of fuel subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market, describing them as “difficult but necessary steps” toward stabilizing the nation’s economy.
According to him, these measures have improved transparency in the fiscal system and are gradually restoring investor confidence.
He also highlighted the administration’s drive to increase revenue generation, reduce debt vulnerabilities, and support small businesses through initiatives such as access to credit and palliative programs aimed at cushioning the effects of economic adjustments on vulnerable Nigerians.
Turning to infrastructure, Enwere commended the President for ongoing projects across the country, including in the South-East region.
He cited the rehabilitation of federal roads, such as sections of the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway and the Second Niger Bridge access roads, as well as renewed attention to rail and power projects.
He noted that these interventions are critical to boosting trade, connectivity, and economic integration in the region.
“President Tinubu has shown inclusiveness in governance by ensuring that key infrastructure projects are not limited to one part of the country.
The South-East is witnessing gradual improvements that will enhance commerce and mobility,” Enwere said.
On security, the former YOWICAN leader acknowledged the administration’s intensified efforts to combat insecurity nationwide.
He pointed to ongoing military operations against insurgents, bandits, and separatist criminal elements, as well as improved coordination among security agencies.
Enwere expressed optimism that the government’s strategy, which combines kinetic and non-kinetic approaches, would yield lasting peace.
He further lauded the President’s commitment to strengthening national unity and dialogue, urging Nigerians to support government initiatives aimed at restoring stability and prosperity.
“As the President marks his 74th birthday, it is important for citizens to reflect on the progress made and to continue offering constructive support to ensure that reforms achieve their intended outcomes,” he added.
Enwere prayed for good health, wisdom, and strength for President Tinubu as he continues to steer the nation through a period of transformation.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who assumed office in May 2023, has continued to pursue a reform-driven agenda focused on economic recovery, infrastructure development, and improved security, amid both domestic and global challenges.
