Independence Day: Nigeria Is Moving From Reform To Prosperity, Tinubu Assures Nigerians

Tinubu said reforms have lifted growth above 4% and rebuilt reserves, while foreign direct investment continues to rise, officials said.

  • President Bola Tinubu said Nigeria had moved from an “age of reform” toward an “age of prosperity” during his Independence Day address.
  • Tinubu defended removing fuel subsidies and unifying the naira exchange rate, comparing past policies to morphine that treated symptoms instead of deeper problems.
  • Tinubu said Nigeria’s economy grew by more than four percent in 2026, while inflation fell, foreign reserves increased, and non-oil export revenue exceeded $6 billion in 2025.
  • Tinubu urged Nigerians to reject calls to restore fuel subsidies and promised more support for poor households, jobs, and industry.
