No reason for Nigerians to be poor, Tinubu reiterates stance in battling poverty

President Bola Tinubu has once again, insisted that there is no reason why Nigerians should be poor despite the abundant resources the country has been blessed with.

Tinubu who made the assertion during a Presidential Townhall Meeting with Nigerians in the diaspora on Wednesday in New York on the sidelines of the ongoing 78th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), organised by Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, urged Nigerians based in the US to “rise above failure by having a change of mindset for success in all their endeavours in life.”

On Friday, September 15, the President had also maintained the same position when he played host to a delegation from Rivers State at the Presidential Villa in Abuja where he insisted that Nigerians are not lazy people and as such, should not be poor.
