FG Calls for Reform Consolidation for Nigeria's Growth

On September 30, the Federal Government called for the consolidation of reforms initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration during the Independence Day Public Lecture in Abuja, marking Nigeria's 66th Independence Anniversary. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, emphasized the need for sustained efforts to turn economic stability into growth and improved living standards for Nigerians.

He noted that the reforms over the past three years have begun addressing structural weaknesses and have led to a 4.43 percent economic growth in the second quarter of 2026. Idris articulated a vision where reform leads to stability, stability to growth, and ultimately a new era of shared prosperity.

He also highlighted the media's role in fostering informed public discourse as Nigeria approaches another electoral cycle. Olumuyiwa Enitan Abel, the new Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, reiterated the public service's responsibility in translating government policies into measurable outcomes for citizens.
