Anambra Governor Reaffirms President Tinubu’s Reform Agenda

Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has reaffirmed support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic reform agenda.

Soludo represented President Tinubu at Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary celebration in Awka, where he delivered the Federal Government’s message on its transition from economic reforms to shared prosperity.

The message acknowledged the resilience and contributions of Nigerians, particularly farmers, traders, teachers, entrepreneurs and security personnel, who have continued to sustain the country through various challenges.

He said the difficult economic reforms implemented by the Federal Government over the past three and a half years were necessary to address longstanding fiscal distortions and reposition the economy for sustainable growth.
According to the message, the reforms have contributed to economic growth of more than four per cent this year, lower inflation and increased non-oil export revenues.

President Tinubu reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to policies that would increase productivity, expand economic opportunities and ensure that the benefits of economic growth reach more Nigerians.

The anniversary celebration also provided an opportunity for residents and officials in Anambra to reflect on Nigeria’s 66 years of independence, as well as the challenges and opportunities ahead in the country’s development.
