Tinubu and Uzodinma Discuss Reforms Impact in Lagos

On Sunday, President Bola Tinubu met with Hope Uzodinma, the Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Imo State, in Lagos. Uzodinma briefed the President on developments during his recent working visit to Europe, describing their conversation as “a very quality conversation.” The discussion centered on ensuring that Nigerians feel the impact of Tinubu's administration's reforms.

Uzodinma emphasized the need for the reform agenda to shift focus from implementation to delivering tangible benefits to the populace. He highlighted the introduction of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses as an example, urging transport operators to reduce fares in line with decreased operating costs.

Uzodinma stated that state governments would actively work to ensure the benefits of reforms reach ordinary Nigerians, rather than merely praising the reforms. He also referenced the financial improvements in Imo State since he took office in 2021, attributing some of these positive changes to Tinubu’s policies.
