Reno Omokri, a former presidential aide, has praised the administration led by President Bola Tinubu for their management of certain sectors of the economy during the festive season.

In a post on X, Omokri noted that this is the first time in the country's history during the festive season that Nigeria has not been plagued by fuel scarcity, insecurity, and terrorism.

He believes that Nigerians have "plenty of reasons to smile this season".

This is the first Yuletide season in the history of Nigeria where the following things are co-occurring:

Fuel prices has reduced and there are no fuel queues or petrol scarcity, and for the first time, Nigeria is exporting refined petroleum products to Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Food is costly but very much available.

The Federal Government owned interstate public transport has been made free of charge for the duration of the holidays. The new Minimum Wage is being paid to federal workers.

And there have been no incidents of terrorism or insecurity outside the theatres of operation, which in itself is reducing in territory, even as both Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, who have been behind much of the instability in the Southeast of Nigeria, are behind bars.

We may not be where we want to be as a nation, but things are gradually getting better in Nigeria in many ways.

As a Nigerian, you have enough reasons to smile this period.
