The deputy president of the senate, Barau Jibrin, has urged Nigerians not to despair, saying the challenges facing the country are surmountable with the commitment of president Bola Tinubu.
Jibrin in his pre-independent day statement reiterated the commitment of president Tinubu to the revival of the economy, tackling the security and other challenges facing the country.
He also called on organised labour to shelve its planned strike over petrol subsidy removal, saying that there are genuine moves by the government to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal.
According to him, the parliament would continue to work for good governance and support the executive with the necessary legislation to actualize its programes and policies.
