President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that Nigeria’s economy remains stable and resilient, despite global uncertainties and political rhetoric abroad.
Speaking in Abuja on Tuesday, Tinubu stressed that no foreign leader — including former U.S. President Donald Trump— can derail Nigeria’s economic progress.“Our economy cannot be broken by anyone’s words or actions. Nigerians are strong, and we are building an economy that will endure,” the President said.
Tinubu pointed to recent gains in foreign reserves, improved investor confidence, and measures to strengthen the nairaas evidence that the country is moving in the right direction. He also highlighted government reforms such as investments in agriculture, infrastructure, and other critical sectors as part of the administration’s long-term growth strategy.
However, despite these assurances, millions of Nigerians continue to grapple with rising food prices, transportation costs, and unemployment. Analysts argue that while reforms may stabilize the broader economy, their impact will only be fully felt when inflation eases and job opportunities expand.
For many Nigerians, Tinubu’s comments provide a measure of reassurance, but they also spark a lingering question: when will the promised stability translate into relief for ordinary households?
