Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, says President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, though tough at first, are beginning to yield visible results.
Speaking at the 2025 Nigeria Public Relations Week in Uyo, Idris highlighted gains from the Renewed Hope Agenda, including improved exchange rate stability, revived oil refining, and increased infrastructure spending.
He noted that over N2.5 trillion has been allocated for road projects in 2025—the highest in Nigeria’s history—while other milestones include the launch of the Nigerian Education Loan Fund and over $450 million in CNG infrastructure investments.
Idris urged PR professionals to help shape Nigeria’s growing economic image, citing over $50 billion in new investments and $21.9 billion in diaspora remittances.
Meanwhile, Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno said Nigeria’s economic woes predated Tinubu’s tenure and called for national support for the president. Speaking after a meeting with Vice President Shettima, Eno said Tinubu is tackling inherited challenges and deserves encouragement.
He also noted progress in Akwa Ibom across education, healthcare, roads, and rural development, adding that his government is now focused on major infrastructure to boost tourism and economic growth.
