We’ve Made Achievements, Nigeria On Its Way To Recovery, Tinubu Says At First Media Chat

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that Nigeria is on the path to recovery despite severe criticism, citing achievements in security, financial discipline, and grassroots development.

Tinubu made this assertion during a nationwide broadcast of his first Presidential Media Chat.

During the address, Tinubu pointed to improvements in security, claiming significant progress in making previously unsafe routes viable for travel.

“Two decades of wanton killings have been addressed. Today, you can travel the roads. Before now, it was impossible,” he said, adding that the military remains vigilant against both internal and external threats to ensure the safety of citizens.

On fiscal management, the President highlighted the administration’s efforts in exiting the previous “ways and means” model, asserting that the government now operates under financial control and fiscal discipline. “We have more revenue being generated and distributed,” Tinubu noted.

The President also emphasised the autonomy granted to local governments as a key milestone.

He linked this development to his long-standing advocacy for grassroots empowerment, referencing his tenure as Lagos State Governor and his clashes with the Obasanjo administration over the creation of additional local councils.

Tinubu acknowledged ongoing challenges but expressed optimism about the country’s progress.

“Regardless of critics, Nigeria is on the path of recovery. We can’t finish the job in one calendar year, and I am not giving myself an excuse—it’s only been 18 months,” he stated.

As Nigerians tune in to the landmark media engagement, the President’s remarks are expected to spark widespread discussions on the administration’s policies and future plans.
