President Bola Tinubu says his administration will prioritise industrialisation, education and healthcare.

The president also said his administration would provide an enabling environment for industrialisation and investments, in line with his vision of creating an economically stable and prosperous country.

Tinubu spoke on Monday in Owerri, capital city of Imo, at the second term inauguration of Hope Uzodinma as governor of the state.

He said even though Nigerians are suffering from the removal of subsidy on petrol, things are beginning to look up.

“In the past 40 years, a few people were cornering our commonwealth and calling it a subsidy, but I call it wasteful,” the commander-in-chief said.

“Right now, we are all bearing and sharing that pain. But things are looking up. Things will get better for the good of all Nigerians. With me, there is hope.

“I assure you that there will be substantial development in education for your children; priority on industrialization; healthcare will receive more allocation and attention.

“We will train more health workers.”

While commending the governor for his achievements, the president described him as the “real Hope”.

“Before now, people were afraid of coming to Imo state, but today Imo is safe and open for business. What we have learned from this experience is the importance of unity, cooperation, and a focus on our internal security,” he said.

“I assure you that your hopes are renewed. Be assured of the support of the federal government to ensure rapid development of your state.”

Speaking after taking his oath of office, Uzodinma said his administration has worked hard to fix the rot in the state’s civil service.

“We have been able to lay a solid foundation for accelerated economic growth and development of our state,” he said.

“We also addressed the decay we met in the civil service, the decay we met in the education sector, and the health sector.”
