Tinubu urged states to embrace agricultural programs to boost food production, revealing, “We have approved the establishment of a local assembly plant for 2,000 John Deere tractors and other farm equipment to support farmers nationwide.”

5. CNG Adoption for Mass Transit:
The President announced steps to expand the Presidential Initiative on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) adoption for public transportation. “This initiative aims to provide affordable and environmentally friendly transit options for all Nigerians,” Tinubu noted, adding that it would be done in collaboration with private sector partners.

8. Forex Market Stability:
Tinubu reassured Nigerians about stability in the foreign exchange market, stating, “Despite the challenges we have faced, we have managed to stabilize the forex market, and our foreign reserves remain strong at $37 billion.” He emphasized that the Central Bank has settled a $7 billion forex backlog and debts totaling over N30 trillion.

9. Recognition of Distinguished Nigerians:
As part of the Independence Day celebrations, Tinubu announced the recipients of national honors for 2024. “It is my honor to recognize those who have made significant contributions to our nation,” he said, as he listed the honorees, including the Senate President and Chief Justice of the Federation.

10. Call for Unity and Resilience:
In his closing remarks, President Tinubu called on Nigerians to remain hopeful, resilient, and united in facing the country’s challenges. “Let us stand together as one nation, confident in our ability to overcome any obstacle. Better days are ahead for Nigeria,” he concluded.
