Tinubu Welcomes GDP Growth but Urges Patience on Reforms’ Impact

President Bola Tinubu has celebrated Nigeria’s 3.46% GDP growth in Q3 2024, attributing it to his administration’s economic reforms but acknowledged the need for further action to improve living standards. 

In a statement by Special Adviser Sunday Dare, Tinubu expressed satisfaction with the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) report.

“We won’t rest until Nigerians experience the positive impact of this growth in their daily lives,” the president said. 

The report highlighted robust performance in sectors like agriculture, transport, ICT, and manufacturing, with agriculture contributing 28.65% of GDP.

The reforms, including proposed tax policies and fiscal adjustments, aim to reduce burdens on small businesses while driving economic equity. 

Tinubu reaffirmed his commitment to achieving a $1 trillion economy by 2030, stating, “This growth is a step forward, but we remain focused on shared prosperity.”
