This Is For You” – President Tinubu Explains Why His Reforms Matter To Nigerians

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed that the economic reforms introduced by his administration since taking office in 2023 were designed to serve the interests of Nigerians and strengthen the country’s economy.

Tinubu made this known in a statement on Wednesday while providing an update on the reforms implemented by his government and their impact so far.

As part of the update, the President announced the “Nigeria’s Reforms Scorecard,” a detailed account intended to show Nigerians what the reforms have achieved, the costs associated with them and the potential economic challenges the government believes were avoided by implementing them.

Tinubu also directed the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, to present the figures and explain the decisions behind the reforms, the progress recorded and the areas where more work is still required.

Oyedele presented the details during a press conference on Wednesday tagged “Nigeria’s Reforms Scorecard.”

In his statement, Tinubu said:

“Fellow Nigerians,

“When we began this journey of reform in 2023, I promised that the difficult decisions we were making would serve the purpose of building an economy that works better for you and a country that is stronger for our children.

“Today, your government presents The Reforms Scorecard. It sets out what our reforms have achieved, what they have cost us, and the greater costs and harms we have prevented by acting when we did.

“I have therefore directed the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Taiwo Oyedele, to give an account to Nigerians, to explain the numbers, the choices we have made, the progress recorded, and the work that remains.”

The President stressed that Nigerians deserve to understand the figures and assess the impact of the government’s policies because the reforms directly affect their lives, families and businesses.

He added:

“You deserve to see the numbers. You deserve to know what has changed and what these reforms mean for you, your family, your business and our country.

“This is your government. This is your country. This is our account to you.”
