The Presidency, through Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, said the security situation in Nigeria has witnessed great improvement since President Bola Tinubu assumed power.
This was contained in a statement, by the Special Adviser, who explained that the current administration is also leaving no stone unturned to revive and enhance the economy.
He disclosed this while reacting to the claim of the opposition, People’s Democratic Party (PDP), that President Tinubu is trying to make Nigeria a one-party state.
“It was surprising that the PDP under whose watch Boko Haram was born in 2009 could so unabashedly blame the Tinubu administration for what it wrongly termed increasing spate of terrorism and banditry.
“This is far from the truth. Security has improved, with fewer cases of terrorist attacks and banditry recorded,” Onanuga said.
“Unlike the PDP’s administration of 16 years, the Tinubu administration has been confronting the problems of our country headlong.
“The administration is moving for an audacious reset that will firmly put our country on a solid economic pedestal.
“The results are already showing. Contrary to the pessimism and wishes of some PDP leaders, the national currency has become the world’s best-performing.
“Appreciating by almost 50 per cent against the dollar in few weeks, exchange rate is stabilising as a convergence has been reached between official and so-called parallel market,” Onanuga said.
He further hailed the economic policies of the Nigerian Government, which, he claimed, had generated positive reviews such as the review of theIMF which predicted an upward growth projection for Nigeria in 2024 from 2.9 per cent to 3.3 per cent.
