Stakeholders in Nigeria’s financial and business sectors have commended the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Taiwo Oyedele, for restoring confidence in the Federal Ministry of Finance, saying his leadership has ended years of policy uncertainty and repositioned the ministry as the driving force behind the Federal Government’s economic agenda.
The stakeholders, drawn from the organised private sector, professional bodies and the investment community, said the ministry has witnessed a remarkable transformation under Oyedele, citing improved stakeholder engagement, enhanced fiscal coordination and a more transparent approach to economic management.
According to them, the renewed confidence in the ministry reflects a departure from an era when fiscal policies were often criticised for poor coordination, weak communication and limited consultation with key economic actors.
The President of the Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria, CITN, Mr. Samuel Agbeluyi, said Oyedele has brought professionalism and strategic direction to the ministry through regular consultations and evidence-based policymaking.
