President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is quietly but firmly laying the foundation for a more accountable, efficient, and people-focused Nigeria. His administration’s bold reforms are beginning to reshape the country’s economic and administrative landscape, with a clear intention to deliver sustainable development and national renewal.
At the heart of his agenda is the determination to centralize and sanitize Nigeria’s revenue system. Key government agencies, including the Nigeria Customs Service, the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA), and other MDAs, are undergoing restructuring to ensure that all revenues are transparently captured and directed into the national treasury.
In the digital and data space, President Tinubu is spearheading a comprehensive reform aimed at assigning a unique identity number to every Nigerian. This effort will enhance transparency in governance, eliminate fraudulent beneficiaries, and create a robust system for accurate population data.
To address economic hardship and stimulate access to resources, the administration is building the framework for a credit-based economy. This system will allow Nigerians, especially the working class and entrepreneurs, to access essential goods and services without the stress of immediate out of pocket expenses.
In a bold move to deepen democracy and development at the grassroots, the Bola Ahmed Tinubu led government is committed to directly empowering local governments. Funds will flow straight to the local councils, bypassing traditional bottlenecks at the state level and enabling real development to reach the people.
A revamped national ID card system is also in progress. It will allow the Federal Government to engage citizens directly and administer programs effectively—free from the corruption and inefficiencies that plagued previous initiatives like N-Power and TraderMoni.
The administration is also preparing to launch direct social interventions, including unemployment benefits and targeted cash transfers, to assist vulnerable populations and reduce poverty across the country.
In the agricultural sector, President Tinubu envisions a self-reliant ecosystem where Nigerian-made farming equipment will support productivity. Agricultural liaison offices will be established in all 774 local government areas to train farmers, supply inputs, and facilitate produce marketing, creating jobs and boosting food security nationwide.
These reforms represent a deliberate and determined effort of the man who truly loves Nigeria and Nigerians to remodel the country’s socio-economic framework from the ground up. The road to recovery may be difficult, but the direction under President Tinubu is clear and hopeful.
Come the 2027 presidential election, Nigerians will have strong reasons to appreciate his vision, courage, and performance.
