A former governor of Bauchi State, Isa Yuguda, has stated that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is capable of rescuing Nigeria from its age-long challenges.
He insisted that Tinubu is on the right path to delivering Nigeria from its challenges.
Yuguda spoke after a forum in Abuja on Thursday hosted by the Special Adviser to Tinubu on Energy, Olu Verheijen, commending the President’s policies, particularly in the power sector, as a beacon of hope for the country.
The erstwhile governor appealed to citizens to be patient and allow the reforms to materialise.
According to Yuguda, previous administrations have invested heavily in the power sector with little success.
However, he commended the current government’s interventions, corrections, and incentives aimed at improving power distribution to the most vulnerable populations.
He said, “As a forum, we are duty-bound to know what we’re achieving in government so that we can inform the general public and assure them that the government is indeed working.
“The interventions, corrections, and incentives the government has implemented to improve power distribution at an affordable level to the most vulnerable populations in this country are truly commendable.”

Yakubu said Tinubu’s government is working hard to address the economic situation in the country.
She also urged Nigerians to support the administration to deliver on its mandate and move the country to the next level.
She said, “I want to use this platform to plead with Nigerians with the present economy, the hardship is surmountable and it is a gradual process.
“Please let’s be calm, show understanding and support the renewed hope of the administration to see our country move to the next level.
