I'm finding it extremely hard to pinpoint just one achievement of Tinubu. Can someone list one genuine achievement.
I know that there's a lot of lazy thinkers around. People that think the insurgency was caused by recalcitrant foreign voters bused in for elections and that the true Russian death toll is reflected in the exchange of dead bodies by Russia and Ukraine.
So basically you cannot claim economic improvement since the economy is coming from a very low base caused by incompetence. You cannot also list white elephant projects like the highway as they are avenues for kickbacks and purely for ego.
Somebody should list just one achievement of the Tinubu administration.

All time inflation record

Lol,not one person has been able to name one meaningful thing that Tinubu has contributed or improved since taking power years ago.
Still waiting.No cooked statistics

Depending in how one wants to view it, bat may point to some things as 'achievements'.

But in my opinion, those supposed achievements mostly favour himself, cronies and other elites, such as the increase in stock market.

The few that should ordinarily favour the masses have not translated to anything positive so far. And as long as the common man cannot feel the positive impact of reforms, then such reforms are bad.

Where are his paid hacks? Yarimo? Helinues? RichTaiwo? FreestuffsNG? Cat got your tongue?

I thought about the stock market issue but I dismissed it instantly as it does not benefit the downtrodden man in the north,east or western Nigeria.
I'm genuinely looking for one positive impact of the Tinubu administration on the common Nigerian. I gave a beggar 200 naira yesterday and he refused to collect it, telling me he was hungry and that he could not feed with 200 naira I kid you not. I added 250 naira to it and another person added another 200 naira.
That was when I realized that people are going through a lot in Nigeria.

MY QUESTION TO AI ChatGPT:


'Tell me Tinubu's achievements since coming to power.'


AI RESPONSE:


...........


President Bola Ahmed Tinubu assumed office at one of the most challenging moments in Nigeria's modern history. The nation faced mounting debt obligations, declining oil production, a fragmented foreign exchange system, widespread infrastructure deficits, and growing demands from a youthful population seeking greater opportunities. Rather than postponing difficult decisions, the administration embarked on an ambitious reform agenda designed to reposition Nigeria for long-term growth and prosperity.

Perhaps the most consequential decision of the administration was the removal of the fuel subsidy. For decades, fuel subsidies consumed trillions of naira annually, creating an enormous burden on public finances. By ending the subsidy regime, the government freed up resources that could be redirected toward infrastructure, education, healthcare, security, and social investment. Though the policy initially caused hardship through increased transportation and living costs, it fundamentally altered Nigeria's fiscal outlook and significantly increased government revenues.

One of the clearest benefits of these reforms has been the dramatic increase in allocations to state governments through the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC). Monthly allocations to states have reached historic levels, providing governors with greater resources to build roads, improve schools, expand healthcare services, and fund development projects. For many states, the increase in revenue has improved their ability to pay salaries, service debts, and undertake capital projects. This decentralization of financial resources represents one of the most significant shifts in Nigerian federalism in recent years.

The administration has simultaneously embarked on one of the largest infrastructure drives in modern Nigerian history. The flagship Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project is designed to connect major economic zones along Nigeria's Atlantic coastline, stimulate tourism, facilitate trade, and create employment opportunities. Beyond the coastal highway, numerous federal road projects have been initiated or accelerated across all geopolitical zones. These investments are intended not merely as construction projects but as economic arteries that reduce transportation costs, connect markets, and unlock regional development.

In education, President Tinubu introduced one of the most transformative social programs in Nigeria's history through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND). For the first time, students from low-income families can access government-backed interest-free loans to finance their education. This initiative has the potential to democratize access to higher education and ensure that talented young Nigerians are not denied opportunities because of financial hardship. By investing in human capital, the administration is helping to build the skilled workforce required for Nigeria's future economic growth.

Youth empowerment has also featured prominently in the administration's agenda. Through the Three Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme, the government aims to equip millions of young Nigerians with digital and technical skills relevant to the global economy. Training in software development, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data analysis, and other emerging fields is intended to prepare Nigerian youth for participation in the rapidly expanding digital marketplace.

One of the less publicized but potentially historic achievements of the administration has been the comprehensive geospatial mapping of Nigeria's solid mineral resources. For decades, Nigeria's vast mineral wealth remained largely underexplored and poorly documented. Under the current administration, extensive geological and geospatial surveys have been undertaken to accurately identify, map, and catalog mineral deposits across the country.

The importance of this achievement cannot be overstated. Investors are far more likely to commit capital when they possess reliable geological data regarding mineral locations, quantities, and commercial viability. By creating a modern mineral database, Nigeria is positioning itself to attract substantial investment into mining, processing, and industrial development. The initiative also helps combat illegal mining by providing government agencies with better information and oversight capabilities. In many respects, the mineral mapping programme lays the foundation for diversifying Nigeria's economy beyond oil and unlocking billions of dollars in untapped mineral wealth.

Equally significant has been the administration's effort to strengthen public sector efficiency through the training of more than 1,000 procurement officers across federal institutions. Procurement represents one of the largest areas of government expenditure and has historically been vulnerable to inefficiency, waste, project delays, and corruption.

By investing in the professional training and certification of procurement officers, the administration is addressing a critical but often overlooked aspect of governance. Well-trained procurement professionals help ensure that public contracts are awarded transparently, projects are properly monitored, costs are controlled, and taxpayers receive better value for money. Even small improvements in procurement efficiency can save governments billions of naira annually. The training programme therefore represents an investment in institutional capacity, accountability, and the effective delivery of public services.

The administration has also prioritized affordable housing through the Renewed Hope Cities and Estates Programme. Thousands of housing units are under construction across the federation, helping address Nigeria's housing deficit while generating employment within the construction sector. These projects are designed not only to provide shelter but also to stimulate economic activity through local sourcing of materials and labor.

Healthcare has similarly received renewed attention. The federal government has undertaken efforts to revitalize primary healthcare centers nationwide, improve medical infrastructure, and expand access to healthcare services. Strengthening primary healthcare is particularly important in rural communities where millions of Nigerians rely on local facilities as their first point of medical care.

Economic reforms have extended into the foreign exchange market as well. The administration moved to unify exchange rates and reduce distortions that had long discouraged investment. Although these reforms contributed to short-term inflationary pressures, they were intended to improve transparency, restore confidence, and create a more efficient market-driven economy.

The government has also aggressively pursued foreign direct investment through diplomatic engagement and economic reforms. Billions of dollars in investment commitments have been announced across sectors including manufacturing, technology, energy, agriculture, and infrastructure. These investments are expected to generate employment opportunities and support long-term economic expansion.

In agriculture, various intervention programmes have sought to increase food production, support farmers, improve access to financing, and enhance food security. The administration recognizes that a nation of Nigeria's size cannot achieve sustainable economic development without a strong agricultural base capable of feeding its population and supplying raw materials for industry.

Taken together, the Tinubu administration's achievements extend beyond individual projects and policies. They represent an attempt to address longstanding structural weaknesses within the Nigerian economy and state apparatus. The removal of fuel subsidies, increased allocations to states, expansion of infrastructure, introduction of student loans, technical skills development, mineral geospatial mapping, procurement reform, healthcare investments, housing projects, and economic liberalization efforts all point toward a broader strategy of institutional transformation.

Whether every reform ultimately succeeds remains a matter for history to determine. However, there is little doubt that the administration has pursued one of the most ambitious reform agendas of Nigeria's Fourth Republic. If sustained and effectively implemented, many of these initiatives have the potential to shape Nigeria's economic trajectory for decades to come.

Counterigbolies:
when last did u hear about ASUU strike?

Very good submission but I dismissed it almost instantly because ASUU was decapitated by the previous regime who encouraged a rival organization to counter ASUU s power. I'm Yoruba but sadly I don't think that Tinubu is clued up to that level.
Moreover I'm actually more interested in something that the average northerner, easterner and westerner benefited from.
Explaining the cessation of ASUU strikes to a sick hungry Nigerian in bandits captivity is not advisable.
I do wonder why he has not worked to improve the morale of the armed forces nor put bounty on the bandits head to encourage snitching.

I find it very odd that someone could borrow so much money and not do good that affects the masses with it.
