President Bola Tinubu emphasized the need to translate this macroeconomic stability into microeconomic prosperity through the Renewed Hope phase of his administration. The Ooni of Ife declared that poverty in Nigeria would soon end due to President Tinubu's poverty eradication programs.

With a projected $1 trillion economy by 2030, Nigeria is on track to become Africa's leading economy by 2028, given its strengthened foundation and improving investor confidence.",
