ECONOMY GROWING DESPITE SHORT-TERM PAIN SAYS MINISTER

Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Atiku Bagudu, has highlighted President Bola Tinubu’s “bold reforms” from the last two years, asserting that they are steadily preparing Nigeria’s economy for lasting recovery and growth, despite current hardships.
Meanwhile, a member of the recently launched North West Development Commission, Aminu Suleiman, appealed to Nigerians for patience with Tinubu, suggesting that his two years in office have been more effective than the preceding administration’s entire eight-year term.
Both officials spoke on Saturday night after visiting Tinubu at his Lagos home, with Bagudu emphasising that Nigeria is beginning to see the positive outcomes of long-overdue economic changes.
