Speaking with State House correspondents after briefing the President on Thursday, Edun reported that the nation recorded a 4.3% GDP growth, the highest in a decade. The growth spans 13 key sectors, reflecting the broad impact of the government’s reform agenda.
“The economy is rebounding and responding positively to the measures taken by the Tinubu administration,” Edun stated.
Investor confidence has also surged, highlighted by the $13 billion oversubscription of Nigeria’s Eurobond issuance. Edun said the figures demonstrate the global market’s trust in the country’s economic direction.
He added that inflation is “beginning to taper down,” signalling a gradual stabilisation of prices and improvement in Nigerians’ purchasing power.
Nigeria’s recent exit from the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Grey List was also described as a major milestone, enhancing the nation’s credibility and standing in international finance.
“These achievements show that President Tinubu’s economic reforms are working. We are seeing tangible results in growth, confidence, and fiscal stability,” Edun said.
