Renewed Hope: Nigeria’s Turbulenced Economy is unlike that of Venezuela

"We want to state categorically that though our country is going through some rough patches, which are being addressed by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our situation is nowhere near what is happening in Venezuela!"
— President Bola Ahmed Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu’s administration on Tuesday said the opposition’s comparison of Nigeria’s economy with that of troubled Venezuela is unfair and inaccurate.
The Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, said that although the Nigerian economy was going through challenges, comparing it to that of Venezuela, by governors elected on the platform of the main opposition party, PDP, was unfair.

“We want to state categorically that though our country is going through some rough patches, which are being addressed by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, our situation is nowhere near what is happening in Venezuela,” Mr Idris wrote in a statement shared with PREMIUM TIMES on Tuesday.

“The Nigerian economy is still very strong and is expected to record a 3% GDP growth this year. The economy is meeting financial obligations to lenders at home and abroad.” 

The PDP governors after their meeting on Monday lamented the economic and security situation across the country and proffered some solutions such as the establishment of state police to address the security challenges in many states.

“We welcome their call for a bipartisan approach to solving our nation’s economic and security problems,” Mr Idris wrote before accusing the PDP governors of contributing to the economic crisis.”

“President Tinubu's six (6) weeks suspension of all the four (4) National Social Investment Programmes (NSIP) is a stitch in time ...!“ The Presidency last night said that President Bola Tinubu will not spare anyone found guilty in the ongoing investigation of financial infractions in the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation and its Social Investment Programmes.  Perhaps in a “close the tap and fix the leaking pipes” approach to resolving the ongoing investigations into the alleged malfeasance in the Humanitarian Ministry, President Bola Tinubu's six-week suspension of the four (4) programmes under the National Social Investment Programmes Agency (NSIPA)– N-Power Programme, Conditional Cash Transfer Programme, Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme, and Home Grown School Feeding Programme. During the suspension period, all NSIPA-related activities, including distributions, events, payments, collaborations, and registrations, are frozen.

HUMANITARIAN MINISTRY QUAGMIRE: Suspension of Betta Edu: a stitch in time ...

In the sideline of the former minister of Humanitarian Affairs Ministry, Sadiya Umar-Farooq's invitation by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) on a N47b money laundery saga that was allegedly transpired in the Humanitarian Ministry under her watch, the Nigeria's media space got agoged by another news of President Bola Tinubu's suspension of his Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, Betta Edu, following controversies about financial transactions she authorised in her ministry.  Perhaps the swift response to the avalanche of public outcry, calling for her head, to serve as detrimental to others, indeed Mr President's decision to immediately suspend Betta Edu to allow the antigraft agency to carryout a thorough and forensic investigation on her, has attracted a corresponding avalanche of ovations and hat doffs to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.

On the 29th May, 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn-in to office as the 5th democratically elected president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria sequel to the return of democracy in country in 1999, after the country's long period stride in the path of rdemocracyin.  However, in his inaugural speech, President Tinubu officially broke the news of the long-awaited fuel subsidy removal that has been lingering in the corridor of power in Nigeria. Indeed the corrupted fuel subsidy policy had been a bottleneck in the Nigeria's journey to prosperity.  Hitherto, perhaps Mr President is not naive to bitter truth that every developmental stri
