Progressives, this is what economic reform looks like. Under Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, Nigeria is creating an enabling environment for indigenous companies to grow, compete globally, and expand beyond our borders.

From LemFi, Kuda, Moniepoint and Fidelity Bank to Zenith Bank’s new Manchester branch, Nigerian enterprise is going global — powered by reforms that reward innovation and growth.

President Tinubu Delivers on Promise: 371 PHCs Now Powered by Solar Energy The Renewed Hope agenda is manifesting tangibly in Nigeria's grassroots. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has overseen the successful solarisation of 371 Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) across 17 states and the FCT. This strategic intervention guarantees reliable electricity for facilities that once struggled with power outages, ensuring vaccines remain potent through stable cold-chain storage, and enabling health workers to provide maternal and emergency services day or night. By powering these centres, the administration is strengthening immunisation systems and improving healthcare access for millions. Achieved in collaboration with NPHCDA, Gavi, and UNICEF, this milestone proves that quality healthcare delivery is a reality under President Tinubu’s leadership.

Macroeconomic credibility is being rebuilt by Mr President The numbers are in, and they tell a powerful story of turnaround. Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the CBN’s policy coordination, Nigeria’s Net FX Reserves have staged a remarkable comeback. How Did We Get Here? •FX Transparency & Market Unification •Improved Reserve Quality & Liquidity Mgmt. •Restored Investor Confidence The Result for the Real Economy: Stronger Reserves → Exchange Rate Stability → Lower Inflation Risk → Investor Confidence → GDP Growth Support. For Nigerian households and businesses, this means reduced FX volatility and stronger buffers against external shocks. It creates an environment where SMEs, manufacturers, and investors can actually plan for the future.

You challenged me, provoked that intellectual curiosity of a leader that must perform. That's the way I see it, I didn't categorize anybody as harsh, critic. President Tinubu gives credits to the Media Yesterday at the Villa.
