Are Nigerians Better Today Than They Were In 2023? Here Are The Facts

Please fact-check me: Nigeria's inflation rate in 2022, before President Tinubu took office, was 23%. Today it is 15.9%. Meanwhile, the minimum wage before President Tinubu took office was ₦30,000. Today, it is ₦70,000.

Before President Tinubu, the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee was sharing an average of ₦700 billion each month to states and Local Governments. Today, FAAC shares an estimated ₦2.1 trillion among states and LGAs monthly. That is three times the revenue the sub-nationals received before Asiwaju became President.

That is why in 2022, twenty-seven states could not pay salaries, but today every single state can pay wages.

And also why Nigeria's foreign reserves have doubled since President Tinubu was sworn in: at $51.04 billion, our current reserves are the highest they have been in 17 years.

Meanwhile, one-third of Nigeria's 3.1 million university undergraduates are recipients of the Tinubu administration's NELFUND Student Loan initiative.

This is even as the last three years have been the first and only time the Academic Staff Union of Universities has gone without a national strike. Under Tinubu, a four-year course is a four-year course.

Furthermore, no other administration in the history of this nation has democratised road construction to the extent that the Tinubu government has done, simultaneously connecting the Southwest with the South-South via the 750-kilometre Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway being built for ₦15 trillion, linking the Northwest to the Southwest with the 1068-kilometre Illela-Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway costing ₦13 trillion, and bridging the gap between the Southeast and the entire North through the 465-kilometre Trans-Saharan Road is being constructed at a price of an estimated $750 million.

Additionally, in 2022, Nigeria was the largest importer of refined petroleum products in Africa. Today, we are the largest exporter of refined petroleum in West Africa.

These and other feats are why the Nigerian economy under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria, has experienced twelve uninterrupted cycles of GDP growth and trade surpluses, which have catapulted our nation to being the African nation with the second-highest manufacturing capacity after Egypt, with a $55 billion Manufacturing Value Added output.

So, I appeal to you to let's put things in their proper perspective and refuse to allow uninformed elements to confuse you. Nigeria is definitely better today than it was in 2023.

Sunday Igboho is taking the fight against insecurity head-on. His mission to flush out kidnappers and bandits across the South-West begins with a march to the Old Oyo National Park, a location long linked to criminal activities.

[Akinwumi @Big_marvis]

Since the Stone Age till today, no country has successfully subsidized everything and still developed.

For over 63 years, Nigeria tried to subsidize almost everything:

• Fuel
• Foreign Exchange (FX)
• Agriculture
• Healthcare
• Education
• Transportation
• Electricity
• Industries
• Religion
• Traditional institutions

Yet, we expected to become a developed nation.

While other countries focused their resources on productive sectors and moved forward, Nigeria kept spreading its resources too thin and remained stuck in the same place.

Most developed countries support sectors that create long-term growth, such as:

• Agriculture
• Healthcare
• Education
• Transportation
• Industries

These are productive subsidies because they increase output, jobs, and economic growth.

But when a country heavily subsidizes consumption items like:

• Fuel
• Foreign Exchange
• Electricity

it often creates waste, inefficiency, corruption, and slows development.

For decades, Nigeria kept repeating the same cycle.

President Tinubu is the first leader bold enough to tell Nigerians that the old path was unsustainable. Difficult as the reforms may be, he chose to confront a problem that previous governments avoided.

Without these changes, Nigeria could have continued moving in circles for another generation.

Whether one agrees with every policy or not, the goal is clear: to build a country that can stand on a stronger economic foundation rather than one permanently dependent on subsidies.

For those of us who support this direction, it is forward ever. We believe Nigeria must move from consumption-driven policies to production-driven growth if it truly wants to develop.

@Goziedragon007 This is not Nigeria. This type of forest is not in the Sahel savannah and Sudan Savannah where bandits are operating.

🚨 BREAKING: Tinubu Unveils Massive Fertiliser Push as Nigeria Secures 9 Million Bags, Saves ₦61.58bn to Boost Food Production❤️🇳🇬

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has hailed MOFI and @nadfng for driving a major agricultural intervention that has secured over 9 million bags of fertiliser and delivered ₦61.58 billion in savings, while supporting thousands of farmers nationwide.

The President says Nigeria is on course to produce 22 million bags of fertiliser in 2026, reinforcing his administration's commitment to food security, lower food prices, and a stronger agricultural economy.

@YemmyAj I am only joking.

[Ebal Edeko @ProfEdeko]

@YemmyAj We have borrowed too much. That is why the IMF said Nigeria's debt is too big to list among the debtors

[Ebal Edeko @ProfEdeko]

@DeeOneAyekooto Why are some APC members finding it difficult to accept the plain fact that Buhari didn't work for Tinubu's victory? Buhari wanted Tinubu to fail.

@EBona69 Why not get the facts right. Peter Obi has not sued Kenneth Okonkwo. He only threatened to sue. Let him sue if he wishes.
