President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that Nigeria’s most difficult days are behind it, assuring citizens that the country is on the path to sustained progress.
Tinubu made this declaration during a one-day working visit to Imo State, where he commissioned Governor Hope Uzodimma’s legacy projects, including the Owerri-Umuahia Road, Assumpta Flyover, and the Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu International Conference Centre.
According to Tinubu, Nigeria is getting better, and the Renewed Hope Agenda is yielding positive results. “Today, I can confidently say that the worst is over. We have the Renewed Hope Agenda, and we have a book sponsored by Hope,” he said. The President highlighted recent economic progress, noting that the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 4.23% at the end of the second quarter of 2025, while inflation dropped to 20.1% from 24.5% at the start of the year.
Tinubu praised Governor Uzodimma for his vision and expressed gratitude to Imo residents for the warm reception accorded him. He also unveiled a book authored by Uzodimma, titled “A Decade of Impactful Progressive Governance in Nigeria”. The President emphasized that the worst is over, citing improvements in the economy and infrastructure development.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio echoed Tinubu’s sentiments, urging Nigerians to remain patient with the ongoing reforms and assuring them that the difficult phase is gradually giving way to positive results. “I must tell you that Nigeria is not finished. Do not buy into the mischievous narrative that Nigeria is irredeemable. We are growing and making progress, and if we all join hands to support the reforms, Nigeria will surely reach the promised land,” Akpabio said.
The President’s declaration is a boost to the morale of Nigerians, who have been facing economic challenges in recent times. With the Renewed Hope Agenda, Tinubu’s administration aims to build a better Nigeria, with improved infrastructure, economic stability, and growth.
As Tinubu noted, “Nigeria is no longer where it was 10 years ago. Your suffering has been as painful to us as a painful surgery. But the economy has now returned to a moment of growth and prosperity.” The President’s assurance has brought hope to many Nigerians, who are eager to see the country progress and prosper.
