The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, has assured that President Bola Tinubu’s ongoing reforms would lead to Nigeria’s expansive prosperity in the years to come.
In a statement on Monday by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Mr. Abimbola Tooki, the party’s helmsman said that, while the economic reforms initiated by the Tinubu administration have demanded sacrifice, patience and resilience from the citizens, ‘there are already clear and measurable indicators showing that the country is gradually returning to the path of sustainable growth, productivity and national renewal’.
After the party’s House of Representatives primary elections across the country, Yilwatda said that the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu was never designed as a short-term populist project but as a bold and strategic intervention aimed at correcting decades of structural distortions that weakened national productivity, discouraged investment, and constrained economic competitiveness.
According to him, ‘great nations are not built on easy choices or temporary comforts, but on courageous decisions that secure the future of generations yet unborn.
‘The reforms being implemented today are laying the foundation for a more stable, productive and prosperous Nigeria’.
The APC National Chairman acknowledged the economic pains being experienced by many Nigerians, especially in the areas of inflationary pressures and the cost of living, but maintained that the Federal Government has continued to respond through targeted interventions, infrastructure investments, support for local industries, and the strategic expansion of critical sectors of the economy.
He noted that several economic indicators are already reflecting growing investor confidence and improving commercial activities across the country.
He cited the latest maritime sector performance report, which revealed that Nigerian ports handled 1,092 ocean-going vessels in the first quarter of 2026, describing it as a strong sign of increasing trade activities, expanding export operations and renewed confidence in the Nigerian economy.
According to him, the development demonstrates that the administration’s investments in port infrastructure modernisation, logistics improvements, transport connectivity, and export expansion policies are beginning to stimulate productive economic activity nationwide.
‘The handling of over 1,092 ocean-going vessels within the first quarter of the year is not an isolated statistic. It reflects increasing commercial confidence, stronger maritime operations, rising export activities and renewed international economic engagement with Nigeria. This is a direct outcome of strategic reforms and infrastructure investments being undertaken by the Federal Government’, he stated.
Yilwatda pointed to the recent improvement in Nigeria’s crude oil production, which has now reached about 99.2% of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries’ production quota, as evidence of enhanced security coordination and improved operational efficiency within the oil and gas sector.
He added that the commissioning of new 330kV transmission lines in Edo State and the addition of 600MW to the national grid represent concrete efforts by the Tinubu administration to strengthen power infrastructure, support industrial growth and improve electricity supply across the country.
The APC National Chairman also cited growing interest among investors and local manufacturers in sectors such as automobile spare parts, industrial production, and energy infrastructure as signs that the economy is gradually repositioning itself for long-term competitiveness and self-reliance.
Yilwatda assured Nigerians that the APC-led administration remains committed to responsible governance, economic stability, job creation and national development.
He urged citizens not to lose faith in the country’s future, stressing that the difficult but necessary reforms currently being implemented would ultimately create a more resilient economy capable of delivering opportunities, prosperity and improved living standards for all Nigerians.
‘Nigeria is passing through a period of economic rebuilding. While the journey may be challenging, the signs of recovery and national renewal are becoming increasingly visible. The APC administration under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains focused, determined and committed to building a stronger and more prosperous nation for both present and future generations’, he said.
Yilwatda reaffirmed APC’s commitment to supporting policies and initiatives that deepen economic reforms, encourage investments, expand infrastructure and promote inclusive national growth.
