“Delightedly, the Tinubu’s administration has hit the ground running sorting out the challenges and designing action plans to resolve a whole lot of them. This is what we expect of a Nigerian leader at this time.
“Nigeria has undergone a lot of developmental experiments since 1960 when we became an independent nation.
“However, just as the experiments went, the country amassed various challenges which became burdensome over the years leading to the clamour for true leadership.
“In the last few months, right steps have been taken by the government, which, if we all work around, would gravitate into producing the right results that we all yearn to see and experience.”
Obasa said Nigerians want to see country that attracts investors because of the right environment.
According to him, we aspire to have world-class health services, we clamour for better education for our children, better prospects and employment opportunities.
