Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, has reveled that Nigerian economy is experiencing a positive growth rate of 2.99 percent, surpassing the 2.3 percent growth seen in the first quarter of 2023.
In his words, Tinubu administration is on track to lift many Nigerians out of poverty.
Edun stated this during the presentation of his ministry’s performance, one year into the administration of President Bola Tinubu in Abuja on Tuesday, 27th of May, 2024.
He noted the improvement in economic growth highlights the effectiveness of President Bola Tinubu’s economic strategy.
Edun noted that agriculture, a critical sector of the economy, is showing marginal growth.
He said the sector’s progress is expected to play a significant role in combating inflation, especially through a favourable wet season harvest that should stabilize food prices.
He stressed that by managing the food price index effectively, the government aims to alleviate one of the major pressure points on inflation.
According to him,

He added that revenue collection has also seen significant improvements. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
