“I Promise You That Your Salaries And Allowances Will Improve” – Tinubu Assures Nigerian Workers

President Bola Tinubu has given fresh assurances that the salaries and allowances of Nigerian workers will soon improve.

According to the President, Nigerians across board will benefit more and feel the impact as the reforms initiated by his administration yield tangible fruits.

Naija News reports that Tinubu made the declaration on Thursday at the commissioning of the rebuilt Premier Hotel, in Ibadan, Oyo State, where he was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume.

The Nigerian leader, who praised the vision of the leaders of the old Western Region for investing in such a project, also praised contemporary leaders for preserving the heritage and remodelling it for economic renewal.

The President said the extensive modernisation of the historic hotel mirrored the ongoing restoration of national landmarks and demonstrated how legacy assets could be repositioned to meet contemporary demands while retaining their historical significance.

“Heritage should not merely be remembered; it should be preserved, strengthened and passed on from one generation to another,” Tinubu said.

He noted that Premier Hotel remained an important part of Nigeria’s collective history, having hosted distinguished Nigerians and international visitors over several decades.

Tinubu also praised the six shareholder states of Odu’a Investment Company; Oyo, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Ekiti and Lagos; for what he described as their unwavering commitment to preserving and revitalising one of the region’s most valuable legacy assets.

According to him, the successful transformation of Premier Hotel underscored the importance of collaboration between governments and the private sector in driving economic growth and preserving strategic investments.

“What we are witnessing here today is a triumph of good governance, public-private sector collaboration and strategic partnerships,” the President stated.

He also added that the federal government under his leadership has developed programmes aimed at strengthening the hospitality, arts, culture and creative sectors to make them major contributors to national development in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of his administration.

He explained that the initiatives were designed to boost Gross Domestic Product (GDP), increase foreign exchange earnings and create jobs for millions of Nigerians.

The President assured investors that his administration would continue to implement policies targeted at improving infrastructure, promoting domestic tourism and attracting greater private sector participation in the tourism value chain.

Tinubu also used the occasion to defend the economic reforms introduced by his administration over the past three years, stressing that difficult decisions needed to be taken in the overall interest and survival of the country.

“The economy has kicked into gear, and the benefits of all the sacrifices we have made as a people over the last three years have already begun to accumulate,” he said.

The President assured that as the reforms across various sectors continue to yield expected results, Nigerians would begin to experience significant improvements in wages and living standards in the coming months.

“I can only promise you that your salaries and allowances will improve,” he said.

He urged citizens and businesses to invest in the country, describing the current period as a critical turning point in Nigeria’s economic history.

“I beckon on us all to take advantage of the beginnings of our economic transformation as a nation to invest in Project Nigeria, and I can assure you that you will be very glad you did,” he said.

Tinubu cited the redevelopment of Premier Hotel as an example of how strategic investments and effective partnerships can unlock economic opportunities, preserve national heritage and stimulate sustainable development.
