World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director-General, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has declared that President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms are yielding stability for Nigeria’s economy.
Speaking to State House correspondents after a closed-door meeting with the President at Aso Rock on Thursday, the former Nigerian finance minister said stability was a crucial foundation for any meaningful economic progress.
She acknowledged the short-term pains Nigerians are experiencing but stressed that the policies were necessary to secure long-term growth.
Okonjo-Iweala listed key priorities going forward, including expanding job opportunities, strengthening social safety nets to cushion hardship for vulnerable citizens, and investing in critical sectors to boost productivity and wealth creation.
“The President and his team deserve credit for stabilizing the economy. The reforms are in the right direction. Now we must focus on growth and social protection,” she said.
