President Bola Tinubu has directed the forty-seven ministers in his cabinet to present their performance reports to Nigerians as part of commemorating his first anniversary in office. This directive was conveyed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, during a press briefing in Abuja.

The low-key first-anniversary celebration will be marked with sectoral media briefings by the 47 federal ministers starting on Thursday. The Minister of Information emphasized that there would be no fanfare to mark Tinubu’s one year in power.

Joining the Minister of Information at the press conference were the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, and the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Bagudu.

In his address, Akume highlighted the administration’s ambitious agenda aimed at economic revitalization, social inclusion, and infrastructural development. He praised the significant economic reforms implemented to stabilize the economy and promote sustainable growth.

Bagudu, the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, stated that Tinubu’s administration inherited a low revenue and shrinking economy but was determined to address these challenges through the Renewed Hope Agenda. This agenda, he added, focuses on eight priority areas crucial for Nigeria’s progress.

Bagudu emphasized the need for difficult decisions, noting that the Renewed Hope Agenda involves confronting economic realities essential for long-term stability and growth. He highlighted the administration’s focus on food security, infrastructure development, education, health, the creative economy, the digital economy, and the steel sector.

The Minister outlined some government policies that might involve temporary discomfort but are necessary for long-term benefits. He emphasized Tinubu’s commitment to fiscal discipline and plans to stimulate economic growth through increased capital expenditure.

The administration aims to reduce the fiscal deficit and increase capital expenditure to 39%, the highest in Nigeria’s history. Significant budget allocations have been made to national security, leading to improvements in various regions.

Bagudu also detailed the benefits of programs and policies instituted by the government, including the transition to compressed natural gas (CNG), which aims to restore energy competitiveness and benefit the manufacturing and transport sectors of the economy.

Overall, the government’s focus remains on addressing challenges, implementing reforms, and fostering sustainable growth to benefit the Nigerian people
