The Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun has reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to disciplined fiscal reforms, transparency, and private-sector-driven growth under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Speaking in Akure on Wednesday at the South West Stakeholders Dialogue, the Minister noted that the removal of fuel subsidies and foreign-exchange reforms have strengthened public finances, improved confidence, and redirected national resources towards citizens and productive investments.
Nigeria’s resources are now benefiting the many, not the few. Our reforms are levelling the playing field, boosting competitiveness, and enabling sustainable economic expansion, he stated.
HM Edun highlighted early gains — faster GDP growth, easing inflation, and a stabilising exchange rate — alongside key interventions including direct benefit transfers, student financing under NELFUND, and plans for a 90,000-kilometre fibre-optic network across the country to expand digital access and support innovation.
He reaffirmed that the administration remains focused on reforms that attract investment, deepen economic inclusion, and position Nigeria for long-term prosperity.
We are creating the right conditions for business to thrive and for every Nigerian to participate in the nation’s progress, the Minister said.
