The Northern Awareness Network (NAN), has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what it described as transformative reforms across key sectors of the Nigerian economy, expressing strong support for the administration’s policies and reform agenda.
The group said the trajectory of progress recorded under the Tinubu administration reflects visionary leadership and a renewed commitment to addressing Nigeria’s longstanding economic and social challenges.
In a statement issued by its Chairman, Salihu Sulaiman, urged continued unity and sustained support for ongoing reforms to ensure that the promise of a better Nigeria becomes a reality for all citizens.
He Said: “At the core of Nigeria’s resurgence is the remarkable improvement in economic growth indicators, which serve as a barometer for the nation’s overall economic health. The Nigerian All Shares Index has witnessed a significant uptick, reflecting enhanced investor confidence and sustainable economic growth.
“This surge is indicative of a market that is not only recovering but is poised for further expansion. Moreover, the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has expanded by an impressive $67 billion, underscoring the effectiveness of the administration’s economic policies and initiatives aimed at fostering a conducive environment for business and investment.
“In tandem with these positive economic indicators, the administration has made commendable strides in bolstering Nigeria’s fiscal health. A substantial increase in foreign reserves, which have risen from $33.23 billion to $46.7 billion, is a clear indication of better fiscal management and economic resilience.
“This enhancement of foreign reserves not only strengthens the nation’s financial standing but also instills confidence among international investors, thereby facilitating a more robust economic landscape.
The administration’s commitment to transparency and accountability has resulted in a notable reduction in corruption perception.”
The Network also highlighted improvements in transparency and governance, citing Nigeria’s progress on the Transparency International Corruption Perceptions Index, where the country reportedly improved to 140th position out of 180 countries by 2025.
On macroeconomic stability, NAN said effective monetary policies have helped reduce inflation from 22.41 per cent to 16.05 per cent, easing pressure on households and creating a more predictable environment for economic activity.
Beyond economic metrics, the group praised the administration’s social welfare initiatives, noting an increase in life expectancy from 54.5 years to 56.36 years, which it linked to health sector reforms and improved access to essential services.
Sulaiman added, “Such advancements reflect a holistic approach to governance, where economic growth is complemented by social progress, thereby ensuring that the benefits of development are equitably distributed among the populace.
“A critical component of Nigeria’s economic revitalization is the significant improvement in the energy sector. Daily electricity generation has reached unprecedented levels, increasing from 3,704.26 megawatts to 5,801.84 megawatts by March 2025. This enhancement in energy supply is not merely a statistic; it represents a fundamental shift in the operational capacity of industries across the nation.
“By addressing energy shortages, the administration is effectively boosting industrial productivity, which is essential for sustaining economic growth and creating employment opportunities.
“In the realm of oil production, Nigeria has exceeded its OPEC quotas, with production levels rising from 1.18 million barrels per day to an impressive 1.71 million barrels per day. This increase not only benefits national revenues but also enhances Nigeria’s export capacity, positioning the country as a more significant player in the global oil market. Such achievements are vital for the nation’s economic stability and provide a solid foundation for future growth.
“The impact of President Tinubu’s reforms extends beyond national borders, as evidenced by Nigeria’s improved global standing. The Henley Passport Index has seen Nigeria rise from the 97th to the 88th position, enhancing the mobility of Nigerian citizens and facilitating greater international engagement. This improvement is a reflection of the nation’s commitment to fostering diplomatic relations and strengthening its presence on the global stage.
“As we reflect on these remarkable achievements, the Northern Awareness Network urges all citizens to actively support the ongoing reforms initiated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is imperative that we come together as a united front, transcending regional and ethnic divides, to collaboratively build a prosperous future for Nigeria. The path to sustainable development and progress is not solely the responsibility of the government; it requires the collective effort of every Nigerian.
“The achievements outlined in this statement are not merely statistics; they represent the hopes and aspirations of millions of Nigerians striving for a better future. As we move forward, let us remain steadfast in our support for these transformative initiatives and work together to ensure that the promise of a prosperous Nigeria becomes a reality for all. Together, we can build a nation that is not only economically vibrant but also socially equitable and globally respected.“
