The Presidency has assured Nigerians that the economic reforms initiated by President Bola Tinubu are producing positive results.

In a post shared on X, on Monday, October 21, 2024, Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, made this statement.

Onanuga acknowledges that the country is facing hard times, but he remains optimistic about the future of Nigeria.

He wrote: “The economic reforms of the PBAT administration are yielding dividends. The road is rough, the times are tough, let us persevere for a brighter future. Surely, there is a beam of light at the end of the tunnel.”

Providing some statistical figures to support his statement, Onanuga wrote: “In the first quarter of 2024, Nigeria recorded trade super plus of N65.527 trillion. But by the second quarter, that number rose to N65.945 trillion, a 6.5 percent increase.

“By half year 2024, we had exported enough to cover half of Nigeria’s N28.77 trillion budget.”
