The Acting President made the remarks at a consultative forum between the Economic Management Team and the Private Sector on the Economic Recovery Growth Plan, which is to be launched later in the month.
OSINBAJO noted that Nigerians deserve a decent life and assured that the current Administration was working day and night to make life easier for everyone.
The Acting President also recalled the words of President BUHARI few months ago, when he admitted that Nigerians were going through hard times as a result of the recession.
He noted that the journey out of the damage caused by years of neglect and corruption was bound to be difficult and expressed the hope that there is a glorious light at the end of the tunnel.
Professor OSINBAJO called on Nigerians to remain steadfast and patient for the economic change that he said would happen very soon.
You will recall that hundreds of aggrieved Nigerians yesterday filed out on the streets of the Federal Capital Territory for a demonstration against the federal government.
The rally took off from the Unity Fountain under strict watch by security personnel, as a former Chairman of the Human Rights Commission, Professor CHIDI ODIKALU and AISHA YUSUFU of the Bring-Back-Our-Girls fame, took the lead.
Our correspondent JAMES IGAH reported that the protesters marched to the gate of the Presidential Villa, chanting anti-government slogans in lamentation of the hardship in the land.
However; the protesters were not allowed to get beyond the gate, where Professor ODINKALU declared that the current leadership in the country has failed.
ODINKALU said Nigerian political leaders are not fulfilling their promises, stressing that President MUHAMMADU BUHARI was elected to bring about change and fight corruption, but has allowed the menace to move from bad to worse.
The Abuja protesters demanded that government should fix the energy problem and revive the economy.
There was also a parallel demonstration in Lagos, as hundreds of participants displayed placards calling for government attention on security, employment and power generation, among other challenges in the country.
