Despite Glaring Evidence Of Failed Govt, Tinubu Says His Policies Bearing Fruit, Nigeria’s Economy Turning Around

Bola Tinubu has claimed that Nigeria’s economy is turning around and his economic policies are already bearing fruit.

Tinubu made this statement over the weekend during his official visit to Katsina State.

“The economy is turning around. It has turned the corner,” Mr Tinubu said.

Tinubu further added that at the initial stage, he was almost overwhelmed by reports of economic hardship triggered by his government’s policies.

“When we started, it was challenging. I almost ran away from watching the news or reading the newspapers.

“I just used courage and stayed put on my decisions, knowing the ability of a leader to take a decision at the right time is the hallmark of leadership. We took it. We stayed with it, and it will be rewarding. It is already bearing fruits.”

Meanwhile, Tinubu’s claim on economic policies bearing fruits followed the International Monetary Fund’s damning report that poverty and food insecurity remain high under Mr Tinubu’s watch.

The report also predicted a grim future for Nigeria, warning that many more Nigerians will be plunged into poverty by 2027 under Mr Tinubu’s watch.
