Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives Hon. Benjamin Kalu.
The Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, has commended President Bola Tinubu for what he described as courageous and far-reaching economic reforms that prevented Nigeria’s economy from sliding into collapse as the President marked three years in office.
Kalu also urged Nigerians to support Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, arguing that a second term would enable the President to consolidate ongoing reforms and complete major infrastructure and economic projects initiated by his administration.
Tinubu was sworn into office on May 29, 2023, succeeding former President Muhammadu Buhari. Since assuming office, his administration has implemented a series of sweeping economic measures, including the removal of fuel subsidy, exchange rate unification, tax reforms and efforts to boost government revenue.
While the policies have drawn praise from supporters for addressing long-standing structural distortions, they have also attracted criticism over the rising cost of living and inflationary pressures experienced by many Nigerians.
