He further reaffirmed the government’s commitment to transparency through the regular publication of quarterly financial reports.
The Director-General of the Debt Management Office, Patience Oniha, assured stakeholders of Nigeria’s prudent debt strategy, underscoring a disciplined and sustainable approach to financing that aligns with long-term economic stability.

President Tinubu outlined the core pillars of his administration’s economic reform programme, including the removal of structural distortions, macroeconomic stabilisation, and policies designed to unlock inclusive and sustained growth.
He highlighted ongoing efforts to deepen reforms across the oil value chain, improve governance, and strengthen institutional transparency.
The President also detailed a comprehensive security strategy aimed at safeguarding economic progress, including decentralisation of policing and intensified measures to disrupt terrorist financing networks.
“The focus remains on policy stability and disciplined execution to ensure that these reforms deliver tangible and lasting benefits for all Nigerians,” the President stated.
