President Bola Tinubu reaffirmed yesterday that his plan to strengthen Nigeria’s economy is progressing as intended.
He made the remarks through the National Security Adviser (NSA) during the opening of the 24th Comptroller-General of Customs Conference in Abuja.
“When I took office last year, I set a clear and determined goal to bolster Nigeria’s economic foundation and promote growth for the benefit of all,” he stated.
“Eighteen months later, that vision remains intact. We have built on existing structures while implementing necessary reforms to adjust to the evolving economic landscape.”
He highlighted that the administration has focused on strengthening policies, improving key areas, and introducing new initiatives to address gaps. “We recognized that some economic policies, though valuable in their time, needed realignment to align with current global dynamics, ensuring they serve national interests and the well-being of our people,” Tinubu explained.
He noted that significant economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the exchange rate, were crucial steps toward building a more transparent and sustainable economic system. These measures, he said, would channel resources into productive investments with long-term benefits for Nigerians.
“Although these decisions required short-term adjustments, they were essential for sustainable growth and prosperity for all Nigerians,” he affirmed.
Tinubu also commended the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) for its role in advancing the country’s economic transformation. “For our vision to succeed, government agencies must align their work with the nation’s broader economic goals. The NCS has risen to this challenge, introducing reforms that adhere to global best practices,” he concluded.
