Nigerians Want Changes To Happen Quickly, Says Abdulsalami

Former Head of State, Retired General Abdulsalalmi Abubakar, has told the current administration of President Bola Tinubu that Nigerians need to see quick changes in the economy.

Abdulsalami said this when the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, paid courtesy visits to him and another former head of state, General Ibrahim Babangida.

He congratulated the administration of President Bola Tinubu for clocking 100 days in office with a charge on Nigerians to join hands with the government to overcome the challenges of fuel subsidy and insecurity inherited from former President Muhammadu Buhari.

According to the Minister, the visits to elders are part of Nigeria’s cultural heritage.

The minister noted that the fatherly role they provided for this country over the years will continue to be appreciated.
