North Is The Biggest Beneficiary Of My Reforms – Tinubu

President Bola Tinubu has said that the North have been the biggest beneficiary of his reforms. This position was recently canvassed by the National Chairman of the APC, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, who represented Tinubu at the second edition of the Policy Roundtable organised by the APC Professionals Forum.

Stressing that his administration inherited fuel subsidy distortions, multiple exchange-rate windows, weak revenue mobilisation, rising debt-service pressures and years of inadequate investment in critical infrastructure, Tinubu cited the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas pipeline, AKK Project, the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, NELFUND, technical and vocational training schemes, and the CREDICORP credit initiative as investments meant to translate macroeconomic stability into microeconomic prosperity.

BAT added that the subsidy system had become inefficient and consumed enormous public resources that could have been invested in education, security, agriculture, healthcare, infrastructure, and other productive sectors.

His words, “The biggest beneficiaries of this economy will be the Northern part of Nigeria, because they will now be trading with countries, trading with Niger, trading with Chad, trading with Burkina Faso, trading with Southern Sudan, trading with Northern Cameroon, trading with Central African Republic…

The North is the next business destination of Nigeria.

For the All Progressives Congress, the answer is clear. We choose progress, productivity, investment, infrastructure, innovation, Nigerian enterprise, exports, human capital, and we choose President Bola Tinubu.

I demonstrated the political courage to implement a reform that previous administrations had acknowledged as necessary but could not fully execute.

Reviving the system without clearly addressing these problems risks misleading Nigerians for short-term political gains and could reverse the fiscal space now supporting critical national investments.”
