Tinubu’s reforms making Nigeria rich gain, says Governor Uzodimma

Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has praised President Bola Tinubu’s economic policies since he took office in 2023, describing the policies as transformative measures that have set Nigeria on a path to recovery and growth.
‎
Speaking at the APC Governors’ Forum stakeholders meeting, Uzodimma said Tinubu inherited a nation “almost drowning” economically but took decisive actions to reverse the downturn. Uzodimma outlined key policy decisions such as the removal of the fuel subsidy, unification of the exchange rate, and various fiscal reforms as policies designed to make Nigeria “rich again.”
‎
He described these policies as addressing the deep-rooted “cancer” holding the country hostage, emphasizing its necessity given the nation’s fragile state.
‎
Despite the positive outlook from the governors’ perspective, with the increased federal allocations trickling down, ordinary Nigerians continue to face inflationary hardships. Uzodimma restated Tinubu’s call for Nigerians to hold governors and local government chairmen accountable for service delivery, particularly at the grassroots level, emphasizing that true impact depends on effective governance beyond just federal policies.
‎
Tinubu’s administration has also established a ₦200 billion intervention fund to support micro, small, and medium enterprises, with the goal of boosting competitiveness and job creation.
‎
Economic data shows progress, with GDP growth reaching 4.23% in September 2025 and revenue collection surpassing targets. While inflationary pressures and hardships remain part of the transitional phase, political leaders like Uzodimma urge Nigerians to be patient toward long-term prosperity under Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
