Former Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong, has urged Nigerians to give President Bola Tinubu another term to complete the economic reforms initiated by his administration.
 
Lalong made the call on Thursday at a national summit of former presiding officers of state Houses of Assembly in Abuja, where the forum endorsed Tinubu for a second term in the 2027 presidential election.
 
He acknowledged the economic difficulties associated with reforms, particularly the removal of petrol subsidy, but argued that the government should be allowed time to translate macroeconomic stabilisation into improved living standards.
 
Lalong said the next phase should focus on investing resources freed by the reforms in agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure, education, energy and technology.
 
He also called for stronger legislative oversight, fiscal responsibility and greater investment in human capital, security and social protection.
 
The former governor said the reforms required patience while urging government to ensure that economic gains translate into shared prosperity for Nigerians.
