The Federal Government, FG, has reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing disciplined fiscal policies and promoting private-sector-driven growth under President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
This commitment was delivered by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, while speaking at the South West Stakeholders Dialogue in Akure on Wednesday.
The minister asserted that major reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies and foreign-exchange policy adjustments, have strengthened public finances, boosted confidence, and successfully redirected national resources toward citizens and productive investments.
“Nigeria’s resources are now benefiting the many, not the few,” Edun stated.

“Our reforms are levelling the playing field, boosting competitiveness, and enabling sustainable economic expansion.”
Edun highlighted several initial signs of progress, noting faster GDP growth, easing inflation, and a stabilising exchange rate.
He also pointed to key social and infrastructural interventions already underway, including: direct benefit transfers to citizens, student financing programs under NELFUND and plans to construct a massive 90,000-kilometre fibre-optic network across the country to expand digital access and support innovation.
He reaffirmed the administration’s focus on reforms designed to attract investment, enhance economic inclusion, and secure Nigeria’s 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 added.
