In a recent speech, First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians who fail to see the country’s progress to wear ‘Tinubu eyeglasses’, citing improvements at airports as an example of the changes that have taken place under her husband, President Bola Tinubu’s administration. According to Punch Newspapers, Mrs. Tinubu made these remarks during the unveiling of the newly renovated Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja. The First Lady emphasized the need for Nigerians to ‘open their eyes’ and see the progress being made, particularly in infrastructure development. The remarks come amidst criticism from some quarters about the slow pace of progress in the country. It is important to note that while the improvements at airports have been widely acknowledged, the pace of progress in other areas such as education, health, and employment remains a subject of debate. The Tinubus have been vocal about their commitment to improving the lives of Nigerians, particularly in areas of infrastructure and job creation. The First Lady’s call for Nigerians to wear ‘Tinubu eyeglasses’ is a metaphorical call to open their eyes and see the progress being made. However, it remains to be seen whether this call will be heeded by those who continue to question the pace of progress in the country.
