Let's keep sentiment aside please
Let's keep Tribalism aside

Tinubu got into power in 2023 our GDP was 376 billion dollars
Our GDP per capita was 1565 dollars

Now our GDP is 194 billion dollars and our GDP per capita is 850 dollars


Is it that you guys don't know what this figures above means or you are just plain wicked asking us to vote for a man who has reduced our productivity by half in 2 years

You employ someone to manage your company and in 2 years your revenue has dropped by half would you still continue to employ such manager?

Any idiotic sycophant should use any generative AI to assess the progress update on Tinubu’s eight point agenda. See the one from Grok below;

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu unveiled his eight-point agenda in August 2023, aiming to address Nigeria’s socioeconomic challenges within three years. The agenda includes:
(1) Food Security,
(2) Ending Poverty,
(3) Economic Growth and Job Creation,
(4) Access to Capital,
(5) Improving Security,
(6) Improving the Playing Field for Businesses,
(7) Rule of Law, and
( Fighting Corruption.

Nearly two years into his administration, as of March 14, 2025, progress can be assessed based on available data and developments, though comprehensive, up-to-date official reports specific to all eight points are limited. Here’s an evaluation based on what’s known:

1. Food Security
Tinubu’s administration has aimed to boost agricultural output to address food insecurity, exacerbated by inflation and insecurity. Farmers have returned to some areas due to improved security, and initiatives like the Dry Season Farming program, launched in late 2023, have sought to increase production. However, food inflation remains high—around 40% as reported in posts on X in 2024—suggesting that supply hasn’t yet met demand effectively. The removal of fuel subsidies has also driven up transportation and production costs, offsetting some gains. Progress exists, but it’s partial and uneven.

2. Ending Poverty
Poverty alleviation hinges on job creation and social interventions. Programs like conditional cash transfers and the promised student loans (yet to fully roll out) aim to support vulnerable populations. However, inflation (around 35% in 2024 per X posts) and a stagnant minimum wage—still at ₦30,000 despite promises of an increase—have deepened economic hardship for many. Subsidy removal savings, estimated at $10 billion, have not visibly translated into widespread poverty relief, with critics on X noting funds appear "stuck" in bureaucracy. Little tangible progress is evident here.

3. Economic Growth and Job Creation
Tinubu targeted 6% GDP growth and 👉50 million jobs👈 . GDP growth has hovered around 3% (per X posts in 2025), far below the goal, though reforms like exchange rate unification and subsidy removal have stabilized reserves and improved trade balances. Local refining capacity has increased with the Dangote Refinery and NNPCL efforts, reducing import reliance. Job creation data is less clear—some infrastructure projects and security operations have generated employment, but unemployment remains high at 5% (X posts), with youth unemployment likely worse. Progress is slow and below targets.

4. Access to Capital
Efforts to enhance access to capital, particularly consumer credit, have seen limited rollout. The student loan scheme, a flagship promise, has faced delays, with no significant disbursements reported by early 2025. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) still struggle with high interest rates and limited credit access, despite rhetoric about stimulating entrepreneurship. The naira’s devaluation (over 70% since 2023) has attracted some foreign investment, but domestic capital access remains constrained. Minimal progress so far.

5. Improving Security
Security has seen notable strides. The administration claims over 8,000 criminals neutralized and 10,000 people rescued, enabling farming resumption in parts of the North. Banditry and insurgency persist, however, with ongoing violence reported in 2025 (X posts and Amnesty critiques from 2023). Military operations have intensified, but a comprehensive resolution remains elusive. Progress is significant but incomplete.

6. Improving the Playing Field for Businesses
Exchange rate unification and subsidy removal aim to level the economic playing field by reducing distortions. Non-oil exports grew 6.3% in 2024 (NBS via X), though oil still dominates at 90% of earnings, indicating slow diversification. Infrastructure development, like railway projects with Chinese support, has progressed, but manufacturers report challenges with power and costs. The agenda’s promise of a fairer business environment is advancing, but structural issues persist.

7. Rule of Law
Tinubu’s commitment to the rule of law has been questioned. Appointments like a minister without an NYSC certificate (noted on X in 2023) and perceived judicial interference have drawn criticism. No major judicial reforms or high-profile accountability measures have been highlighted. Progress here appears stagnant or undermined by political actions.

8. Fighting Corruption
Anti-corruption efforts have ramped up via the EFCC, with increased public campaigns and some high-profile probes (e.g., subsidy-related cases). However, critics argue Tinubu’s own past and political alliances limit credibility—X users in 2023 called him "the face of corruption." No systemic overhaul or convictions of major political figures have been widely reported. Efforts are visible but lack transformative impact.

Overall Assessment
Tinubu’s administration has made strides in security, economic stabilization, and refining capacity, aligning with parts of the agenda. However, food security, poverty reduction, job creation, and capital access lag significantly, hampered by inflation, slow policy execution, and unfulfilled promises like student loans and wage increases. GDP growth and unemployment figures (from X posts) suggest the economy isn’t yet on the promised trajectory. Security gains are tempered by persistent violence, and anti-corruption and rule-of-law efforts lack depth. As of March 14, 2025, progress is mixed—some foundation laid, but significant results remain elusive, with many Nigerians still feeling the pinch of reforms without broad benefits. Data gaps and sentiment on X underscore a narrative of frustration alongside pockets of optimism.

Your eight point agenda is sumed up by GDP oga

A company is judged by revenue... If you make workers comes early, healthy work environment, and the rest... If that results in lower revenue then your policy failed

What ever point agenda you have should results in GDP growth else it failed

mrvitalis:

Hellanus is a case study...do you think that boy have brain? mallam why day sell suya for ogbomosho roasted his brain with onions and pepper and sold as suya to his brothers

Mixture of both plus stupidity

Tinubu failure is unimaginably

Does it suggest Tinubu is making any significant progress on his eight point agenda?

What you’re talking about is economic growth which is the 3rd point on his agenda. How does that automatically make it the summary of the entire eight point agenda?

Read that post again before you reply me.

Tinubu promised eight things, and so far he’s doing an excellent job failing at achieving these things and wasting everyone’s time.

but how can you expect someone that emptied all his bullion vans to grab power to improve your economy.the bullion van is still not full yet

Let's keep sentiment aside please

Our GDP per capita was 1565 dollars

Now our GDP is 194 billion dollars and our GDP per capita is 850 dollars


Is it that you guys don't know what this figures above means or you are just plain wicked asking us to vote for a man who has reduced our productivity by half in 2 years

You employ someone to manage your company and in 2 years your revenue has dropped by half would you still continue to employ such manager?

go make your voters cards ready than makin noise only till next elections....

I think the problem is that they have no faith in those jostling to take his place as they're all responsible for the quality of Nigeria we have today, Obi inclusive.

Nigeria's present GDP is $383 Billion
