FG Says $1 Trillion Economy Target by 2030 Achievable, Assures Nigerians of Better Living Standards by 2027
The Federal Government has reaffirmed that its vision to grow Nigeria’s economy to $1 trillion by 2030 through ongoing reforms and initiatives is attainable. Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated that while the nation has not yet reached “Uhuru” or “El Dorado,” progress is evident under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
Speaking to journalists after economic consultations between Progressive Governors Forum Chairman, Governor Hope Uzodinma, key APC political leaders, and Seplat Oil’s management in Abuja, Idris noted that laying a solid foundation requires endurance. He highlighted improvements in food sufficiency, security, and fiscal resources for both federal and state governments.
Idris stressed that by the end of President Tinubu’s first four years, Nigerians would experience tangible benefits from the reforms, citing positive ratings from global economic agencies. While acknowledging that reforms are challenging, he said resources are now better allocated to enable leaders to fulfill their democratic promises.
He assured that the administration’s economic trajectory remains on course, adding, “We’re happy with where we are going, and Nigeria will be better off for it.”
