Tinubu's Reforms Promised to Boost Nigeria's Economy

Abimbola Tooki, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserted that the economic reforms initiated by President Bola Tinubu are essential for Nigeria's prosperity. He acknowledged the immense sacrifices and resilience required from citizens during these challenging times.

Tooki emphasized that the reforms are not mere populist gimmicks but necessary measures to correct structural distortions that have historically weakened the nation's productivity and discouraged foreign direct investment. He pointed to significant improvements in Nigeria's economy, including a 99.2% rebound in crude oil production attributed to enhanced security and operational efficiency within the oil sector.

Additionally, he noted the successful handling of 1,092 ocean-going vessels by Nigerian ports in the first quarter of 2026, marking a milestone in trade activity. The establishment of a new 330kV transmission line in Edo State, contributing an additional 600MW to the national grid, was also highlighted as evidence of the administration's commitment to strengthening power infrastructure.

Tooki urged citizens not to lose faith in the country's economic trajectory despite current challenges.
