Nigerians are applauding the key decisions taken by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration just two weeks after his inauguration.
Since assuming office on May 29, 2023, President Tinubu has made several unexpected moves, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the suspension of the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele.
The decisive actions taken by President Tinubu have garnered praise from citizens who believe he is demonstrating a deep understanding of the Nigerian situation.
Some Nigerians highlight that certain decisions, which previously took years or were overlooked by past administrations, have been swiftly addressed under President Tinubu's leadership.
These decisions encompass various areas, such as the removal of fuel subsidies, the signing of important acts like the Electricity Act 2023, the Data Protection Act, and the Student Loan Act, as well as the unification of the foreign exchange market.
Furthermore, it has been revealed that President Tinubu's Policy Advisory Council has recommended the merger of the Nigerian Customs Service, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
The proposed merger aims to enhance the efficient collection of direct and indirect taxes as well as levies on behalf of the federal government.
While some of President Tinubu's plans and direction remain unclear, many Nigerians perceive him as a conscious president genuinely committed to nation-building.
However, the economic decisions made by his administration may have implications for the prices of goods and services, prompting President Tinubu to urge the citizens to endure the adjustments.
The introduction of the students' loan scheme has received positive feedback, with Prof. Adigun Agbaje, a former Deputy Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan, expressing that it is a step in the right direction to address critical issues in the education sector.
Social media reactions reflect a mix of support and cautious optimism toward President Tinubu's economic decisions. Nigerians commend his swift decision-making, contrasting it with what they perceive as inaction in previous administrations.
They acknowledge that the journey ahead may be challenging, but they believe these necessary actions will contribute to long-term macroeconomic and fiscal recovery.
Overall, President Tinubu's proactive approach and early actions have left a positive impression on many Nigerians, who hope to see continued progressive measures that prioritize the interests of the people.
