Tinubu’s economic reforms delivering results, not promises – Oyedele

Nigerian Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, asserts that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's economic reforms are producing tangible results rather than empty promises. Oyedele explained this in a video released by the Ministry of Finance, detailing the positive outcomes of the reforms, such as the removal of fuel subsidies and the liberalisation of the naira, which Nigerians can now observe firsthand.

The minister emphasized that if Tinubu secures re-election, consolidating the economic gains achieved by his administration would remain a top priority. However, Oyedele also acknowledged that Nigeria is not yet out of the woods, stressing that the Tinubu administration is working tirelessly to solidify its reforms and enhance fiscal governance.

The next step for the administration, according to Oyedele, is to build credibility, ensuring that they are not merely selling promises but presenting evidence and results. He clarified that the focus is on what has already been accomplished, not on outlining future plans. Oyedele cautioned against complacency, stating that significant work remains to be done in terms of consolidating the reforms and improving fiscal governance.
