Officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nigeria’s ruling party, defended President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms in Abuja on Tuesday, despite the hardship faced by households, according to Punch. At the presentation of the party’s 2027 manifesto, entitled "From Reforms to Prosperity", presidency chief of staff Femi Gbajabiamila and MP Abdulmumin Jibrin said these policies should be allowed to produce their full effects.
Gbajabiamila acknowledges that the removal of the petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange market have weighed on households, while affirming that Tinubu was right to take these difficult decisions. According to him, the manifesto aims to halve the number of out-of-school children by 2031, install seven million additional electricity meters and extend health insurance coverage. He also cites the National Education Loan Fund, tax reform and the electricity law.
