This is expected to produce 400,000 metric tons of iron rods annually, addressing road construction and building collapse issues.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement signed by spokesperson Ibrahim Dan-Musa on Sunday, the group urged Nigerians to give President Tinubu a chance. They see hope and a sense of possibility that shouldn\u2019t be ignored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe appeal to other Arewa groups to acknowledge that Nigeria\u2019s challenges are a shared responsibility,\u201d Dan-Musa said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Tinubu needs more time to implement his plans for the country. The ongoing reforms offer hope for a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that President Tinubu\u2019s presidency presents a fresh opportunity for transformation. While skepticism is understandable, the group believes reforms under Tinubu are taking shape, paving the way for a better future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are witnessing the dawn of a new era, where mistakes are acknowledged and rectified, and the people\u2019s voices are heard. Now is the time to unite, support the reforms, and hold our leaders accountable.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s engage in constructive dialogue, participate actively, and ensure our leaders know we are vigilant and invested in our collective future. We must become active participants in shaping our destiny.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHope is a powerful force. Let\u2019s embrace it with a commitment to making our nation better for all. We owe it to ourselves, our children, and the memory of those we lost. Let\u2019s give President Tinubu the time and support needed to implement these vital reforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northern Ethnic Youth Group Assembly has withdrawn from the planned protest against hunger with a call on Nigerian youths and student bodies to give President Bola Tinubu more time to implement his economic reforms.
