President Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday, assured Nigerians of a stronger economy, stating that his reforms are beginning to yield positive results.
Tinubu made this remark while presenting the 2025 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the 11th National Assembly in Abuja.
He said, “I report today that our economy is responding positively to stimulus. Our objective is to further stimulate the economy through the implementation of targeted fiscal stimulus packages, public expenditure, and specific non-inflationary spending. The reforms we have instituted are beginning to yield results, with no reversals.
“Nigerians will soon experience a better and more functional economy. Global economic growth for the outgoing year was 2.0 per cent.
“For 2024, it was projected at 3.2 per cent, and contrary to predictions for our country, we have made significant progress. Our economy grew by 3.46 per cent. The improvements we achieved in the 2024 budget have laid the groundwork for the 2025 budget.”
