Speaking at the inaugural State House Media Dinner in Abuja yesterday, the president said his government took difficult decisions to reposition the economy and create a foundation for sustainable growth.

Tinubu noted that key sectors of the economy are showing signs of recovery, adding that increased revenue generation has enabled state governments to receive larger allocations for development projects.

“We made hard choices because the country needed a new direction. 

"The signs emerging from across the economy suggest that those decisions are beginning to produce positive outcomes,” he said.

According to the president, Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves have improved, while fresh investments are flowing into the oil and gas industry. 

He also highlighted gains in the capital market and described recent economic trends as encouraging.

Furthermore, Tinubu said ongoing tax reforms, infrastructure projects and efforts to improve the ease of doing business are aimed at boosting productivity and attracting long-term investments.

He, however, acknowledged that the reform process remains a work in progress.

“There is still much to be done, but the framework for long-term economic expansion is being built. What is important is that the country is moving in a positive direction,” he stated.

On security, the president said his administration has continued to deploy a combination of military action, intelligence operations and strategic partnerships to address threats across different parts of the country.

Tinubu said collaboration among security agencies has improved significantly, while cooperation with neighbouring countries and international partners has strengthened ongoing operations against criminal groups.

“Our objective is clear: to restore peace and ensure that every community can pursue development without fear. Security remains central to national progress,” he said.

The president added that security forces have recorded successes against terrorists, bandits, kidnappers and oil thieves, leading to the rescue of victims and the recovery of communities previously affected by violence.

Meanwhile, Tinubu commended journalists and media organisations for their contributions to democratic governance and public accountability.

He urged practitioners to remain committed to factual reporting, stressing that responsible journalism plays a crucial role in promoting national stability.

“The media remains one of the pillars of democracy. 

"Accuracy, fairness and professionalism are essential in ensuring that information strengthens society rather than deepening divisions,” the president said.
