Under Tinubu, Nigeria has recorded a remarkable progress – UN

The United Nations (UN) has acknowledged that the Tinubu administration has made tremendous progress in Nigeria over the last year, after reforms aimed at stabilising the economy and addressing insecurity.

The UN Deputy Secretary-General, Hajiya Amina Mohammed, who gave the global body’s position, said, “Over the past year, Nigeria has witnessed progress from the reforms introduced by this administration to stabilize the economy.

And we can see that the country, creditably, has improved. The Nigerian government has also been proactive in addressing security challenges in the country and the sub-regions as demonstrated by the hosting of an African counter-terrorism meeting last month.

Hajiya Amina Mohammed said this during a High-level Dialogue on Delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda on the theme, “Nigeria’s Global Ambitions: From Hope to Reality”.

“There have also been other notable initiatives such as the nationwide digital literacy programme and the expansion of the broadband infrastructure to bridge the digital divide and empower our people in this digital age”.

In his goodwill message, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Richard Montgomery, said the United Kingdom is impressed by the security strategies President Tinubu has put in place, even as he restated the support of the United Kingdom for the Nigerian government in this direction, including transparency and accountability in governance.
