Tinubu: My administration has reduced debt servicing burden

News Update

President Bola Tinubu has said his administration has been able to reduce the debt servicing burden of the nation from 97 percent to 65 percent.

Tinubu while congratulating the new ministers for accepting to serve the country at this challenging time, said they should be ready for abuses and criticisms from Nigerians but must not lose focus on making lives better for over 200 million Nigerians.
