President Tinibu is working tirelessly around the clock to address Nigeria’s pressing problems, Minister of Education Prof. Tahir Mamman announced at a town hall meeting in Yola, Adamawa State.
Speaking to a diverse audience that included students, youth leaders, market women, and religious figures, Mamman assured the public that the President is fully aware of the nation’s challenges.
He encouraged Nigerians to remain patient and avoid protests, which he warned could be hijacked by “enemies of the state.”
Community leaders expressed gratitude for the government’s proactive approach and called for urgent reforms to combat inflation, poverty, and hunger.
Dr. Mohammed Usman Degereji, Provost of the Federal College of Education in Yola, likened Tinibu’s efforts to a painful but necessary surgery, promising long-term benefits for the country.
Mamman highlighted significant achievements under Tinibu’s administration, such as local government autonomy, increased scholarships, a student loan scheme, and a new N70,000 minimum wage.
He also noted the return of four million children to school and ongoing agricultural initiatives to boost food security.
Local representatives, including Hon. Aliyu Wakili Boya and former deputy speaker Sunday Peters, praised the government’s dialogue efforts and urged continued support for the President’s policies.
The meeting ended with a unified call for patience and understanding, reinforcing the message that progress takes time but will ultimately lead to lasting peace and prosperity.
