The Presidency yesterday launched a defence of President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms, dismissing former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s criticisms of the administration’s fiscal policies as misleading and based on outdated economic data.

In a lengthy statement, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, argued that Atiku’s assessment of the current administration ignored the progress recorded since the difficult adjustment period that followed the implementation of key reforms in 2023 and 2024.
