Tinubu Declares Nigeria Has Entered Golden Era, Praises Governors for Supporting Economic Reforms President Bola Tinubu has declared that Nigeria has entered a “golden era” of economic transformation, commending state governors for embracing the reforms introduced by his administration. The President said the cooperation between the Federal Government and state governments has been critical to advancing economic policies aimed at stabilising the economy, attracting investment and creating a stronger foundation for national growth. Tinubu praised governors for supporting reforms designed to improve fiscal sustainability, strengthen productivity and reposition Nigeria as a competitive economy. He said the willingness of states to align with the government’s economic direction was a sign of shared commitment to national development. The President highlighted ongoing efforts in areas such as infrastructure development, investment promotion, revenue reforms and support for businesses, describing them as part of a broader strategy to unlock Nigeria’s economic potential.

He acknowledged that some reforms have brought short-term difficulties for citizens but maintained that the measures were necessary to address longstanding economic challenges and place the country on a path of sustainable growth. Tinubu urged governors to continue implementing policies that encourage enterprise, expand opportunities and improve living standards across their states. The President’s remarks come as his administration continues to defend its economic agenda, including major policy changes such as fuel subsidy removal and foreign exchange reforms, which supporters say are aimed at achieving long-term stability while critics continue to raise concerns about their immediate impact on households. The Federal Government said it remains committed to working with state governments to accelerate development, strengthen the economy and deliver improved outcomes for Nigerians.
