Overview
- In a nationwide address on Friday, May 29, 2026, President Bola Tinubu said three years of reforms have stabilised public finances and restored investor confidence.
- Tinubu pointed to a near fivefold rise in the stock market and a jump in market value from about N30 trillion to N160 trillion as evidence that capital is returning to Nigeria.
- The administration highlighted large projects under way, including more than 2,700 km of roads, rail upgrades and the near‑completion of the $5 billion NLNG Train 7 gas project.
- Officials acknowledged the reforms triggered a sharp cost‑of‑living squeeze and promised targeted moves to reduce food prices, cut transport costs through CNG and electric conversions, and clear about N4 trillion in power debts.
- Tinubu said security operations against bandits, insurgents and criminal networks have intensified with some gains, but he warned that violence and other governance challenges still risk slowing the recovery.
