President Bola Tinubu has said he has accepted the assets and liabilities of his predecessor.
“I’m not a man who goes looking back on everything because I’ve accepted the assets and liabilities of my predecessor,” Tinubu said on Thursday in Abuja.
The president received the National Executive of the Nigerian Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), led by its National President, Salimon Akanni Oladiti, at the State House.
“No matter what has happened in the years past, it’s now my responsibility as president to fix it and make it work for the greatest common good of our population. I take responsibility for that, and we will do it,” he added.
“I will just appeal to all of you to let us work diligently and passionately on this democracy.
“Democracy is about celebration of freedom and opportunity that must be cherished by all of us, just like a painful childbirth, but the joy is everlasting and long.
“And I promise you, you will enjoy a better Nigeria.”
Tinubu vowed to fix Nigeria’s refineries and reposition them to deliver value and profit.
“The refineries that you mentioned are going to come back to work; we’re just building a very firm, resetting, and structural reworking of the economy of it. Ordinary flame and smoke of a refinery doesn’t mean that it’s working until it’s profitable and yields the value for which it is built,” he said.
