Outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, on Tuesday, said the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu would put Nigeria on a better footing in the long term.
Mr Montgomery said although the reforms might have caused short-term pain for ordinary people, they were fundamental to restoring vitality to the economy.
A statement by Dare Adekanmbi, Special Adviser to the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Dr Zacch Adedeji, said the British High Commissioner spoke in Abuja during a farewell visit to the Revenue House in Abuja.
The envoy said “to be in Nigeria over a three-year period where so much has happened for the good was awesome.”
“And I know that a lot of the economic reforms are tough, and they can cause short-term pain for ordinary people— you know, devaluation, inflation, and so forth.
