President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the country’s most difficult days are behind it, declaring that his administration’s policies are steering the nation toward lasting growth and stability.
Tinubu made the remarks on Tuesday during a one-day working visit to Imo State, where he inaugurated Governor Hope Uzodimma’s flagship projects, including the Owerri-Umuahia Road, the Assumpta Flyover, and the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre. He also unveiled Uzodimma’s new book, A Decade of Impactful Progressive Governance in Nigeria.
“Nigeria is no longer where it was 10 years ago. Today, I can confidently say that the worst is over. We have the Renewed Hope Agenda, and we have a book sponsored by Hope,” the President said. “I thank you for your patience and perseverance. Nigeria is getting better.”
Tinubu pointed to key economic gains, citing 4.23% GDP growth in Q2 2025 and a decline in inflation from 24.5% at the start of the year to 20.1%. He added that foreign investors were showing renewed confidence in Nigeria’s economy and urged citizens to maintain faith in his government.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio hailed Uzodimma as a “performing governor” and praised Tinubu for implementing policies that, he said, have improved the lives of Nigerians.
Governor Uzodimma described his book as a detailed chronicle of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s decade-long journey, highlighting its achievements and challenges. He stressed that his administration had delivered notable progress in education, security, welfare, and infrastructure.
