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.
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
It has been reported that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), has finally released the withheld results of 279 students.
It can be recalled that some results were held due to investigations of cheating. Some results proved to have traces of malpractice and were cancelled, but the ones without traces have been released and the students can finally move on.
JAMB also shared additional advice for students that might have not seen theirs: “Candidates whose results have not yet been released are advised to check their status by sending UTMERESULT to 55019 or 66019 using the same phone number used for registration to view their released results.”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
