The outgoing British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, on Tuesday said President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms would put Nigeria on a better footing in the long term.
A statement by Dare Adekanmbi, Special Adviser to the 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.
According to Montgomery, although the reforms might have caused short-term pain for ordinary people, they are fundamental to restoring vitality to the economy.
The envoy said that being in Nigeria over a three-year period, when so much had happened for the good, was awesome.
“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.
