President Bola Tinubu has vowed to fight smuggling and corruption to standstill.
Tinubu said this at the the commissioning of the Lagos Red Line Train on Thursday.
The President also said there is no going back on the economic policies of his government.
OsunDailyNG reports that Vice President Kashim Shettima had earlier revealed that the government had uncovered 32 routes through which food items are smuggled out of Nigeria.
Tinubu said, “I agree smugglers will fight back, corruption will fight back. We will fight them to ruins. Corruption will go away, [we will] save the money for you to educate our children, to pay for the healthcare system of our people, to pay for the modern transportation system that works for highest number of people, not those few smugglers.
“We said we can do it, you believed in us. We said the people’s lives will end up being better, you believed in us. I could hear a lot of voices right now, I asked for this job, I cannot complain, it’s all about democracy.
“But this revolution that has started, this reform that is ongoing, we are not looking back. The engineering, the construction, the affirmation of our pledge to be loyal to our country. One thing I know is that there is a very bright light at the end of the tunnel,” he stated.
