The federal government has emphasized a few of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's accomplishments over the past 100 days.



Since Tinubu's inauguration as Nigeria's 16th president, it has been exactly 100 days.

FG noted that Tinubu started the effort to restore the battered economy of the nation in a challenging circumstance.

The three tiers of government were declared insolvent and unable to meet the needs of the populace as a result of the country's public debts, both domestic and foreign, coupled with an unsustainable fuel subsidy regime, according to a statement signed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mallam Mohammed Idris.

In solving the problems, the minister noted that Tinubu took a bold and courageous decision “to remove the fuel subsidy to avert a national economic catastrophe of epic proportions.

He described the fuel subsidy regime as a Sword of Damocles that hung over Nigeria for decades, adding that it stunted the growth of the country and set it a-borrowing.

“In addition to subsidy removal, President Tinubu took further steps to unify the multiple foreign exchange markets,” the statement said.
“While these two vital steps to save the country from hitting the rocks brought momentary discomfort to Nigerians, President Tinubu has never failed in his appeal to Nigerians to see the current inconveniences as a price we must all pay to save our country from disappearing.
“Considering the people’s pains, the government rolled out intervention programs to help cushion the unintended negative impacts of the reforms.
“These interventions include working out a minimum wage and salary increase, supporting states and local governments to enable them to cater for the most vulnerable among us, providing fertilizers to farmers, grains to households, and cash transfers to people with low incomes.
“In addition to these, there are plans to roll out over 11,000 CNG buses for affordable public transportation, among others.
“While striving to reduce the impact of the high cost of living on the citizens, President Tinubu has focused on redirecting our economy and removing the impediments to productivity and competitiveness so that the real sector can grow and create millions of decent jobs that are essential for long-term economic growth.
“In the last 100 days, the government set up a Tax and Fiscal Reforms Committee that is fully at work to deepen the ongoing reforms and reposition the national economy for long-term sustainability. A renowned Tax and Fiscal Policy expert is leading this committee.
“Part of the committee’s mandate, working with the state governments, is to simplify our complicated tax system, eliminate multiple taxes, streamline regulations that negate the ease of doing business, and close the over $20 trillion annual tax gap.
“To ensure that Nigerians and businesses are not burdened with new taxes, the administration will promote efficiency in revenue collection.
“Within the last 100 days, President Tinubu has worked to promote political stability in Nigeria because he understands that there cannot be any meaningful progress and development without peace.
“The administration has stabilized the polity and reduced tensions associated with ethnic and religious agitations by better managing our diversity.
“Tinubu ensured balance in all the appointments into key government positions, including those of service chiefs from diverse parts of the country.
“President Tinubu emerged as the Chairman of the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government within his 100 days in office.
“In the last 100 days, President Tinubu has offered purposeful leadership and set the administration’s tone, texture, and character.
