  "account": "President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared that Nigeria has entered a new era of economic development and prosperity after a period of reforms. In his address marking Nigeria's Independence Anniversary, Tinubu stated that \"the age of reform has done its work\" and that \"now begins the age of prosperity.\" He added that Nigeria was approaching the next phase \"from a position of strength,\" citing a correction in the fundamental direction of the economy.\n\nTinubu said his administration had confronted difficult choices and laid the foundations for lasting prosperity. He emphasized that rather than failing the promise of a better future for future generations, it was now time to build that future. \"An age in which the promise of this great nation must finally become the lived experience of Nigerians from all walks of life,\" he said.\n\nReflecting on the challenges faced by the country, Tinubu acknowledged that Nigerians had gone through difficult years and made hard decisions together. He said: \"We have travelled through difficult years together. We have made hard decisions together.\" Now, he added, \"still together, we must build the country those decisions have made possible.\"",
