President Bola Tinubu has assured traditional rulers in the country that his administration will run an open-door policy that is ready to listen to the yearnings of Nigerians toward transforming the nation’s rich potential into reality.

Tinubu made the vow during a meeting with the monarchs under the aegis of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria (NCTRN) at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Friday, June 9.

The President said: “We are all ears. We are ready to listen at any given time. I promise you an open-door policy and that is the way I will go.

“That open-door policy is for you to call me and send to me at any given time any concern that you might have.

“We may not have it right 100 per cent of the time but we must get it right 90 per cent of the time for this country.”

Responding to issues raised by the traditional rulers on challenges facing the country, he said: “Worry not because the country is in good hands.”

He added that his administration is very conscious of the expectations of Nigerians.

In their separate remarks, the Chairman and Co-Chairman of NCTRN, the Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Saad Abubakar, and Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, respectively, pledged the support and loyalty of traditional rulers from the six geo-political zones to President Tinubu.

They assured the President of their continued prayers in his resolve to move the country forward under his ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda.

The Sultan said: “We are 100 per cent in support of your government and we believe in the will of the Almighty Allah you will move this country forward.

“We will contribute our quota to the development of the country once you reach out to us.
