President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that Nigeria’s economy has turned a corner, insisting that the country has navigated out of the dark tunnel of uncertainty as his administration pushes ahead with recovery efforts.
Speaking at an exhibition in the United Kingdom during his state visit, the President struck an optimistic tone, telling Nigerians at home and in the diaspora that his government is firmly on course to restore hope and stabilise the economy.
Tinubu said the era of economic despair is giving way to renewed prospects, stressing that his mandate remains rooted in rebuilding confidence and delivering tangible reforms.
“We have moved beyond the tunnel of uncertainty and hopelessness,” he said, projecting a future defined by growth and opportunity. “Our mission to renew hope is alive, and it continues to resonate with Nigerians.”
The President also dismissed prevailing global assessments of African economies, arguing that Nigeria must define its own trajectory rather than rely on external ratings.
He maintained that progress would be driven by internal resolve, not outside perceptions.
According to him, the responsibility lies with Nigerians to harness the country’s strengths and chart a clear path forward, even amid global economic volatility and declining purchasing power.
Tinubu further urged citizens to remain resilient and optimistic, pledging sustained leadership and reforms to steer the nation toward stability.
“Stay positive, stay committed, and keep hope alive,” he said. “Together, we will deliver the change Nigeria deserves.”
