President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has urged citizens to communicate what he described as improving economic conditions across Nigeria, stating that inflationary pressures are moderating, fuel prices are easing, and the national currency is becoming more stable.
The president’s remarks come amid ongoing economic reforms introduced by his administration since 2023, including fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange adjustments. According to Tinubu, recent economic indicators suggest that these measures are beginning to yield measurable results, particularly in stabilising prices and strengthening the Nigerian naira.
In recent policy statements and national addresses, Tinubu has maintained that inflation has shown signs of moderation after a prolonged surge that triggered a cost-of-living crisis. Official data and government projections indicate that inflation has declined in recent months, supported by stabilising food and energy prices as well as tighter monetary policy.
The president also pointed to improving exchange rate stability, noting that foreign exchange reforms and increased capital inflows have helped reduce volatility in the naira. Analysts and monetary authorities have similarly attributed easing inflationary pressures to a more stable currency and improved foreign reserves.
Fuel prices—long a key driver of inflation in Nigeria—have also shown signs of moderation in some periods, contributing to a gradual slowdown in headline inflation, according to economic analysts.
Despite these improvements, economists and international observers caution that inflation remains relatively high and continues to weigh on household purchasing power. Reports by global financial institutions and analysts note that while reforms have strengthened fiscal stability and investor confidence, many Nigerians are yet to feel tangible relief from rising living costs.
Tinubu’s administration has pledged to consolidate its reforms in 2026, with a focus on reducing inflation further, strengthening the currency, and ensuring that economic gains translate into improved living standards.
