Nigeria Making Progress Under Tinubu, Says UN
POLITICS DIGEST- The United Nations (UN) has acknowledged that there has been remarkable progress in Nigeria under the Tinubu administration in the last year, following the reforms targeted at stabilizing the economy and tackling insecurity.
Hajiya Amina Mohammed said this during a High-level Dialogue on Delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda on the theme, “Nigeria’s Global Ambitions: From Hope to Reality”.
The UN Deputy Secretary-General, who gave the global body’s position, said that over the past year, Nigeria has witnessed progress from the reforms introduced by this administration to stabilize the economy.
“We can see that the country, creditably, has improved. The Nigerian government has also been proactive in addressing security challenges in the country and the sub-regions as demonstrated by the hosting of an African counter-terrorism meeting last month.
“There have also been other notable initiatives such as the nationwide digital literacy programme and the expansion of the broadband infrastructure to bridge the digital divide and empower our people in this digital age,” Amina said.
In his goodwill message, the British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Dr. Richard Montgomery, said the United Kingdom is impressed by the security strategies President Tinubu has put in place, even as he restated the support of the United Kingdom for the Nigerian government in this direction, including transparency and accountability in governance.
He said, “I’d like to use this opportunity to express the whole lot of support of my government to the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Bola Tinubu.
