Tinubu’s economic reforms returning Nigeria to sustainable growth, productivity: APC Chairman

President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms are returning Nigeria to the path of sustainable growth, productivity, and national renewal. Nentawe Yilwatda gave the assurance in a statement on Sunday.
Mr Yilwatda said the emerging signs of national recovery include: international and trade confidence, sectoral growth and investment, foreign reserves, macroeconomic stability, and an agricultural push.
Mr Yilwatda restated that these reforms are not quick-fix policies but strategic, long-term overhauls designed to rebuild Nigeria’s economy. He explained that the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr Tinubu was never designed as a short-term populist project, but as a bold and strategic intervention.
The APC national chairman added that it was aimed at correcting decades of structural distortions that weakened national productivity, discouraged investments and constrained economic competitiveness.
”Great nations are not built on easy choices or temporary comforts, but on courageous decisions that secure the future of generations yet unborn.
”The reforms being implemented today are laying the foundation for a more stable, productive and prosperous Nigeria,” Mr Yilwatda said.
The politician acknowledged the economic pains currently being experienced by many Nigerians, especially in the areas of inflationary pressure and cost of living. He maintained that the federal government had continued to respond to the pains through targeted interventions, infrastructure investments, support for local industries and strategic expansion of critical sectors of the economy.
Mr Yilwatda noted that several economic indicators were already reflecting growing investor confidence and improving commercial activities across the country. He cited the latest maritime sector performance report, which revealed that Nigerian ports handled 1,092 ocean-going vessels in the first quarter of 2026.
He described the development as a strong sign of increased trade activity, expanding export operations, and renewed confidence in the Nigerian economy.
According to him, the development demonstrates that the administration’s investments in port infrastructure modernisation, logistics improvements, transport connectivity, and export expansion policies are beginning to stimulate productive economic activity nationwide.
