Tinubu Assures IMF’s Georgieva that Nigeria’s Economic Reforms Are Yielding Positive Results
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently assured Kristalina Georgieva, the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), that Nigeria’s economic reforms are beginning to show positive outcomes.
During their meeting, the President emphasized his administration’s unwavering commitment to alleviating the challenges brought on by these reforms while prioritizing the protection of the nation’s most vulnerable citizens.
President Tinubu highlighted that key aspects of his administration’s agenda include strengthening social safety nets, improving access to education, and driving investments in infrastructure.
He stressed that these efforts are crucial for fostering inclusive growth and ensuring that no Nigerian is left behind in the journey toward economic recovery and development.
In addressing fiscal policies, the President acknowledged the need to expand the country’s tax base as part of broader efforts to achieve sustainable developmental growth.
However, he reassured Nigerians that this would be done responsibly, without imposing additional burdens on a population already grappling with economic hardship.
The meeting with Georgieva comes at a time when Nigeria is undergoing significant economic adjustments, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the foreign exchange rate.
While these measures are intended to stabilize the economy and attract foreign investment, they have also led to increased costs of living for many Nigerians.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
