Nigerian billionaire Femi Otedola has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s work ethic, saying it gives hope for a better Nigeria.
Otedola made the remarks after visiting Tinubu in Lagos on Sunday, alongside his billionaire friend, Alhaji Aliko Dangote.
The President is currently in Lagos for the Easter holiday.
During the visit, Otedola, who is also the Chairman of First Bank plc, said he and Dangote spoke with Tinubu about the economy and how Nigerians can benefit from the President’s ongoing reforms.
He also highlighted that the President was still working even on Easter Sunday, a dedication he says is inspiring for the country.
Otedola said, “Yesterday, I spent Easter Sunday with our dear President, Bola Tinubu, and my bestie Aliko Dangote. We discussed the economy and how Nigerians can benefit from the reforms.
“On a day of resurrection and renewal, Mr President was still working. That kind of commitment gives you hope for Nigeria.”
He has regularly commended Tinubu for what he calls bold and necessary economic reforms aimed at stabilizing the country and boosting investor confidence.
According to Otedola, Tinubu has shown “remarkable” courage and clarity in steering “our country through difficult but necessary reforms.”
The billionaire added that the President’s bold sense of direction, guided by “a deep understanding of our economy,” has laid the groundwork for policies now recognised globally.
“I have seen many administrations, but his conviction at this critical time deserves commendation,” Otedola said.
