VIDEO: Seyi Tinubu admits hardship, urges support for father’s reforms

Seyi Tinubu, President Bola Tinubu's son, called on Nigerians to trust the Federal Government's economic reforms, stating they aim to generate opportunities and secure a promising future for younger generations. The call came at the inaugural Seyi Tinubu Colloquium, themed 'Shaping the Future Together', held at Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos. The event brought together participants to discuss nation-building, youth involvement in governance, and Nigeria's future.

In his welcome address, Seyi, who is set to celebrate his birthday on October 13, emphasized that each generation inherits a country they did not choose but has a responsibility to shape for future generations. He praised President Tinubu's administration's decision to confront Nigeria's challenges for the benefit of future generations, not just for themselves.

Seyi identified removing the petrol subsidy, reforming the foreign exchange system, and overhauling the tax system as major decisions impacting the country's economic direction. He noted that these changes, while difficult for households facing budget pressures, would provide long-term benefits through investments in infrastructure and key sectors like roads, highways, power, mining, manufacturing, and agriculture.

Seyi Tinubu stressed the importance of youth inclusion in government policy and decision-making, urging young people to participate in leadership to ensure that decisions taken by the current generation benefit Nigerians in the future.
