President Bola Ahmed Tinubu President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has stated that Nigeria will not sustain failed economic theory that sees to the wastage of 90% of its scarce revenue in the servicing of external debts in the midst of many development challenges facing the country.

He made this known on Sunday in Abuja while declaring open the Annual conference of the Nigerian Bar Association at the Velodrome, Chief MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja.

While giving his speech, the president noted that a vast majority of Nigerians complain too much, and that it is very important that the citizenry changes their mindset.

“Can we continue to service external debts with 90% of our revenue? It is a path to destruction. It is not sustainable.

"We must make the very difficult changes that are necessary for our country to get up from slumber and be respected among the great nations of the world.

“You are learned. I want to learn. Why are we so blessed and we are still lacking? We must have a change of attitude and a change of our mindset. We accuse our nation and its previous leaders.

"We complain alot of the past. Is that the solution? No! Let us look forward and be determined! God has given us what we need. We must work hard with determination to make our country great and it begins with you who are seated here with me,” the president thundered.
