German President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, has lauded Nigeria’s ongoing economic reforms, commending President Bola Tinubu‘s leadership and the resilience of Nigerian citizens amid challenging times.
Naija News reports that the commendation was made on Wednesday during a bilateral discussion between President Tinubu and President Steinmeier at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
During the session, the German leader pledged his country’s support to bolster Nigeria’s economy and help mitigate the impact of ongoing economic challenges.
Drawing from Germany’s experience with past economic crises, Steinmeier highlighted the significance of courage and perseverance in driving national transformation.
“It is not easy it was the experience in Germany many years ago when Germany was in a deep economic crisis, you need a lot of courage and perseverance that would be to the benefit of your country,” Steinmeier remarked.
He affirmed Germany’s commitment to Nigeria’s reform agenda, stating, “I myself and everybody in German politics are following your courageous steps and we will support you.
“Germany will support you on the ongoing reforms in Nigeria.”
The German President’s remarks come as Nigeria pursues a series of bold economic measures under President Tinubu’s administration, aimed at revitalizing the economy and addressing longstanding structural issues.
