Respected financial expert, Kalu Aja, has declared his support for President Bola Tinubu’s tax and economic policies, describing them as the right measures to stabilize Nigeria’s struggling economy.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) page, Aja reflected on his long-term advocacy for transparency and fiscal discipline. He noted that his previous warnings about the Central Bank’s excessive money printing and the hidden fuel subsidy payments during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration were often ignored.
According to him, the Buhari government was “wrongly advised to retain subsidies and peg the naira to the dollar,” a move he said deepened the country’s fiscal problems. Aja commended the Tinubu-led government for its decision to remove fuel subsidies, stressing that the policy has greatly increased the federation’s revenue base.
“We can’t change our economic beliefs because of who is in Abuja,” Aja wrote, adding that President Tinubu’s current economic direction is “the next step is growth.”
