The Director-General of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies (NILDS), Prof Abubakar Sulaiman, has urged Nigerians to be patient with President Bola Tinubu’s administration, saying a series of steps are being taken to address the country’s economic challenges.

He stated this on Tuesday in Abuja at the closing ceremony of the third batch of the “Legislative Drafting Internship Programme and Induction of the Fourth Batch of Interns” organised by NILDS.

He said the constitution of the Economic Advisory Council, implementation of the Steve Oronsaye report on the reform of the civil service and the regulation of forex would go a long way in repositioning the economy.

Sulaiman said: “These three measures put together, I want to believe things can still bounce back to normalcy. There is every hope that things will still bounce back to normalcy.

“Nobody is immune to the hardship; however rich or wealthy you are, however highly placed you are, you can’t say you are immune to it. Nigerians should keep hope alive.”

He further said that the internship programme was initiated with the vision of addressing the national need for skilled legislative drafters.
