Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), has said Nigerians are beginning to witness positive outcomes from the economic reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Akume stated this on Monday, during a World Press Conference in Abuja to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary.
He noted that while the reforms may be tough, they are necessary to stabilise the economy, restore investor confidence, and build a foundation for long-term growth.

“We are all aware of the economic reforms initiated by this administration.
“They are bold and imaginative, but sometimes difficult, yet necessary steps aimed at stabilising our economy, restoring investors’ confidence and laying the foundation for long-term growth.
“ Already, we are witnessing positive results. Inflationary pressures are beginning to ease, foreign investment inflows have shown renewed interest, while job creation initiatives are expanding opportunities for our youths,” Akume said.
The SGF added that social intervention programmes are being strengthened to cushion the effects of the reforms on vulnerable Nigerians.
According to him, the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda is not just a slogan but has become a framework for inclusivity, national rebirth, and sustainable progress, particularly for young people.
He urged citizens to remain resilient and committed to the ideals of peace and unity, stressing that nation-building is a shared responsibility.
“Our true strength lies in our capacity to consistently rise after every storm, to rebuild after every setback and forge ahead with resilience and faith in our destiny as a nation,” he added.
