PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu’s Presidency will likely be defined by the sweeping reforms he unleashed from his very first day in office.

Though he has repeatedly acknowledged the hardships caused by his economic and structural policies, the President once again celebrated his scorecard on the penultimate Sunday when he accepted the All Progressives Congress’ mandate to run in the 2027 elections.

In a statement marking the third anniversary of his administration, Tinubu highlighted what he considers key achievements in Nigeria’s highest political office. These include the Nigerian Education Loan Fund disbursements, improvements in power supply, increased foreign reserves, and investments in infrastructure.

According to the President, the signs of recovery are becoming evident across agriculture, power, technology, manufacturing, and industry.

On the surface, there is some basis for optimism. The economy now appears to have a clearer direction. The naira has enjoyed relative stability, while non-oil revenue has overtaken oil earnings, a remarkable shift for a country that has depended on crude exports for decades.
