Nentawe Yilwatda has said the economic reforms introduced by Bola Tinubu are beginning to return Nigeria to a path of sustainable growth, stronger productivity and long-term prosperity.
In a statement released on Sunday, the All Progressives Congress national chairman said the administration’s policies are producing early signs of economic recovery, including increased investor confidence, stronger trade activity, improved foreign reserves and renewed momentum in agriculture.
Yilwatda explained that the reforms under Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda were designed as long-term structural changes rather than temporary measures aimed at quick political gains. According to him, the goal is to correct deep-rooted weaknesses that have slowed productivity, discouraged investment and reduced Nigeria’s competitiveness over the years.
He said difficult but necessary decisions are often required to build strong economies and secure a better future.
“Great nations are not built on easy choices or temporary comforts, but on courageous decisions that secure the future of generations yet unborn,” he said, adding that the current reforms are laying the foundation for a more stable and prosperous country.

The APC chairman acknowledged that many Nigerians are still grappling with rising prices and a higher cost of living. However, he said the federal government is responding through targeted interventions, infrastructure development, support for local industries and efforts to expand critical sectors of the economy.
Yilwatda noted that several economic indicators are already reflecting renewed confidence in the country. As an example, he cited recent data from the maritime sector showing that Nigerian ports handled 1,092 ocean-going vessels in the first quarter of 2026.
He described the figure as evidence of growing trade activity, stronger export operations and improving confidence among international investors and business partners.
According to him, the performance reflects the impact of government investments in port modernisation, logistics improvements, transport connectivity and export-focused policies.
The APC chairman maintained that while the reforms may be painful in the short term, they are beginning to stimulate productive economic activity and position Nigeria for more sustainable growth.
He expressed confidence that continued implementation of the policies will strengthen the economy and create broader opportunities for businesses and citizens across the country.
