The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to fiscal discipline, transparency, and private-sector-driven growth under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

This assurance was given by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr Wale Edun, during the South West Stakeholders Dialogue held in Akure on Wednesday.

Mr Edun stated that the removal of fuel subsidies and the ongoing foreign exchange reforms have strengthened public finances, restored investor confidence, and redirected national resources towards citizens and productive investments.

“Nigeria’s resources are now benefiting the many, not the few. Our reforms are levelling the playing field, boosting competitiveness, and enabling sustainable economic expansion,” he said.

The Minister highlighted the early gains of the reforms, including faster GDP growth, easing inflation, and a stabilising exchange rate. He also listed key government interventions such as direct benefit transfers, the introduction of student financing under NELFUND, and plans to establish a 90,000-kilometre fibre-optic network across the country to improve digital access and support innovation.

Edun reaffirmed that the administration remains focused on policies that attract investment, deepen economic inclusion, and position Nigeria for long-term prosperity.

“We are creating the right conditions for businesses to thrive and for every Nigerian to participate in the nation’s progress,” he added.
