Economic reforms earning Nigeria global recognition, says Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has said Nigeria is receiving increased global recognition as a result of his administration’s economic reforms, expressing confidence that the country has moved beyond its most difficult economic period and is now on the path to sustained recovery.
The President spoke on Thursday while receiving a delegation of the Aseyori Tinubu research group, led by Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Tinubu said the growing interest of multinational companies and foreign investors in Nigeria reflected confidence in the government’s reform agenda and the collective efforts of Nigerians across different sectors.
“The economy of our nation has passed the darkest tunnel. The twists and turns of democracy are there. We will continue to push for improvement. The economic recovery is here, proudly. We are running a very stable economy right now,” the President said.
He assured Nigerians that the benefits of the ongoing reforms would become more evident in the coming months, adding that his administration remained focused on deepening economic stability and stimulating growth.
The President also highlighted progress in the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), revealing that he had approved additional funding for the scheme from assets recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“We have a production line going on well; we just need to stimulate the economy for growth. We can beat our chests with the bragging rights—no more ASUU strike. Today, our children are in school. The security is getting better, not getting worse,” Tinubu said.
He urged the research group to continue producing policy ideas and research that would strengthen Nigeria politically and economically.
