President Bola Tinubu on Thursday said the US government’s decision to close its Agency for International Development demonstrates that it is time for Nigeria and Africa to wake up.

According to ZINGTIE, hours after being sworn in as president, Donald Trump placed an immediate 90-day freeze on all US foreign assistance, including more than $40 billion for international projects provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Trump stated that the suspension would allow for a review to ensure the agency was in line with his America-First strategy.

Tinubu, speaking as Special Guest of Honour at the formal presentation of former President Ibrahim Babangida’s autobiography, stated that the revelations, especially terror financing, should startle the continent into action.

He said,“I’m glad about what is happening in America and Europe; the contradiction that we are seeing now all over. What is it telling us? It’s telling us to wake up, to make Africa a better place, particularly this country, Nigeria.”

Tinubu recognized the leadership in the room during Thursday’s meeting, stressing that the spirit of “revolutionary courage” that brought them together in the first place now drives them to continue strengthening the country.

He expressed gratitude for the mandate, patience, and tenacity demonstrated by individuals who have taken on the country’s obligations.

“We find our leaders here, the situation that brought us together, and the one that we’ll continue from this moment on, the revolutionary courage that brought leadership out to build our country.

“I’ve seen so much responsibility and the need to take some decisions on behalf of this country. I want to thank all of you for your mandate, patience and perseverance,” he stated.
