President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the economy is stabilizing, and food is becoming more accessible.
Speaking on Sunday during a Sallah homage at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Tinubu noted that recent policy changes had sparked positive developments across key sectors. The visit was led by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
Highlighting the impact of these policies, the President pointed to the removal of the FCT from the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which, according to him, has accelerated progress in critical areas.
“I started looking at the opening up of rural areas. The residence of the Vice President, which had been abandoned for years, is now coming alive. Health centers are being rehabilitated, and facilities upgraded. Schools are getting much-needed attention, with teachers being supported and buildings furnished. Thank you, Wike,” Tinubu said.
He further stressed improvements in security and economic activities, stating that Nigerians are now experiencing relief in daily life.
“Today, we are living in peace, and security is improving. Our economic output is stabilizing. Hunger is reducing, food prices are dropping, and people can now go to the market and do business without struggle,” he added.
Tinubu’s comments come at a time when many Nigerians are grappling with inflation and the high cost of living—key challenges that continue to define his administration’s economic policies.
