The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has said economic reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu saved no fewer than 27 states from economic collapse. “President Tinubu came into office with a clear plan. “These gains are the direct outcome of President Tinubu’s reforms and his leadership strategy,” the minister stated. He added that the reforms helped Nigeria avoid a deeper economic crisis that could have emerged if corrective measures were delayed. The minister also said the ongoing reforms are creating new opportunities for Nigerian youths, urging them to position themselves to benefit from the evolving economic landscape.
