Tinubu: Nigerians Must Feel Economic Impact Before I Rest

Published

on


President Bola Tinubu has promised not to rest until Nigerians experience the positive effects of his economic policies.

This assurance comes after the National Bureau of Statistics reported a 3.46% growth in Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the third quarter of 2024, an improvement from the 3.19% recorded in the second quarter.

In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Communications, Sunday Dare, Tinubu expressed optimism about the economic progress. He said, “I am excited by the latest report from the National Bureau of Statistics showing our economy grew more than projected.

While this is encouraging, it highlights the work ahead. We won’t rest until Nigerians feel the benefits in their daily lives and enjoy a better standard of living.”

Tinubu credited the growth to his administration’s economic reforms and better fiscal management. He emphasized that the upcoming rebasing of the economy in early 2025 will reflect significant changes in various sectors, paving the way for shared prosperity.

The President also highlighted proposed tax reforms aimed at reducing the burden on small businesses and promoting fairness across the country. These reforms will address the “headquarters effect,” ensuring that tax benefits are more evenly distributed among states.

Tinubu reiterated his administration’s commitment to improving the welfare of Nigerians and creating an equitable economy.

Senator Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, has admitted he might consider joining the coalition working to unseat President Bola Tinubu in 2027, though he’s not in a hurry to make that decision. Speaking on Arise TV on Tuesday night, Ndume confirmed that he has attended several of the coalition’s meetings but made it clear he’s being cautious.

“I know about the opposition coalition. I’ve attended many of their meetings,” he said. When asked if the group had approached him to join them, Ndume responded, “Yes, they’ve spoken to me, but I told them no for now. I don’t want to jump from frying pan to fire. I need to be sure of what I’m doing. I’m a loyal person, and I have my reasons for that loyalty.”

His comments follow reports that the opposition coalition plans to rally around the newly proposed All Democratic Alliance (ADA), which has applied for registration with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). The coalition is believed to be led by political heavyweights like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Anambra governor Peter Obi, ex-Rivers governor Rotimi Amaechi, among others.

As President Bola Tinubu arrives in Nasarawa State today, Wednesday, to commission major projects carried out by Governor Abdullahi Sule in Lafia, the Tiv Youth Organisation (TYO) is calling for urgent action to stop the ongoing violence and killings affecting Tiv communities in the state.

During a press briefing on Tuesday in Lafia, the group’s president, Comrade Isaiah Audu, expressed deep concern over the rising attacks that have left several Tiv settlements in ruins across four local government areas. Audu described the attacks as unprovoked and deadly, adding that they have led to the loss of innocent lives, destroyed farmlands, and forced thousands of Tiv families to abandon their homes.

Additionally, he mentioned that the latest incidents took place on June 13 and June 15, 2025, affecting communities like Dooga Ayande in Doma LGA, Antsa in Keana LGA, Tse Yange in Obi LGA, and Tse Akura in Giza Area Administrative Council. Among those reportedly killed were Mr. Terfa Tswabee, Mr. Sham Kyodo, Zaki Kwaghtagher Ordue, and Teryem Aondo Apav. Many others were injured, while families continue to flee their homes in search of safety.

Audu urged President Tinubu to use his visit as an opportunity to work with security agencies and state authorities to put an end to the attacks and ensure the safety of Tiv people. “We are Nigerians too, and we deserve to live in peace on our ancestral lands without fear,” Audu stressed. “Mr. President, we are not just asking you to commission projects today; we are asking you to commission peace and justice for the Tiv people of Nasarawa.”
