The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, has assured Nigerians that the ongoing economic reforms introduced by President Bola Tinubu will lead to long-term prosperity and sustainable national growth.
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, Yilwatda said the reforms under the Tinubu administration were already showing measurable signs of economic recovery despite the temporary hardships being experienced by citizens.
Speaking after the successful conduct of the party’s House of Representatives primary elections nationwide, the APC National Chairman stated that the Renewed Hope Agenda was designed as a strategic effort to correct long-standing structural weaknesses in Nigeria’s economy.
According to him, the reforms were not intended as “a short-term populist project” but as deliberate measures aimed at improving productivity, attracting investments and strengthening Nigeria’s economic competitiveness.
“Great nations are not built on easy choices or temporary comforts, but on courageous decisions that secure the future of generations yet unborn. The reforms being implemented today are laying the foundation for a more stable, productive and prosperous Nigeria,” Yilwatda stated.

He acknowledged the economic challenges currently facing many Nigerians, particularly rising inflation and the high cost of living, but maintained that the Federal Government was responding through targeted interventions, infrastructure development and support for key sectors of the economy.
Yilwatda cited recent economic indicators as evidence of growing investor confidence and improving business activities across the country.
He referenced the latest maritime sector report which showed that Nigerian ports handled 1,092 ocean-going vessels in the first quarter of 2026, describing it as a sign of expanding trade activities, rising exports and renewed international confidence in the Nigerian economy.
“The handling of over 1,092 ocean-going vessels within the first quarter of the year is not an isolated statistic. It reflects increasing commercial confidence, stronger maritime operations, rising export activities and renewed international economic engagement with Nigeria.” The APC chairman also pointed to Nigeria’s crude oil production, which he said had reached about 99.2 percent of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) production quota, as proof of improved security coordination and operational efficiency in the oil and gas sector.
He further highlighted the commissioning of new 330kV transmission lines in Edo State and the addition of 600 megawatts to the national grid as part of efforts by the Tinubu administration to strengthen power supply and industrial growth.
Yilwatda noted growing investor interest in sectors such as automobile spare parts manufacturing, industrial production and energy infrastructure, saying the economy was gradually being repositioned for long-term competitiveness and self-reliance.
He assured Nigerians that the APC-led administration remained committed to responsible governance, economic stability, job creation and national development.
