President Bola Tinubu has said that his administration will continue to address the economic hardship confronting citizens.

In a Christmas message to Nigerians on Sunday, Tinubu in a statement he personally signed said the federal government would continue to implement aid to cushion the financial burden of the “most vulnerable” in the country.

The president said Nigerians should be assured of his commitment to govern with vision, dedication, and empathy.

“In the spirit of Christmas, reflecting the best of Christ, let us all endeavour to extend the warm embrace of kindness to those around us who need it and let the multiple acts of kindness serve as a light that guides us into a happy and wonderful new year,” he said.

“This year has been a time of transformation and relentless change in our country.

“And I am aware that the necessary reforms we are implementing to achieve a more prosperous, peaceful nation for all have imposed unique sacrifices.

“My administration will continue to implement palliative measures to ease the burden on the most vulnerable, address current hardships and alleviate the suffering of all our nation’s people.

“Fellow Nigerians, as we navigate this transition to stability, prosperity, and Renewed Hope, I urge you once more to hold fast and rest assured of my commitment to govern with vision, dedication, and empathy.

“Be confident that by the strength of our joint endeavour, we will shortly emerge into a new dawn of prosperity, peace, and irreversible progress.”

Tinubu also solicited prayers for the military, praying that God would console the families of the officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty.
