Former Deputy Governor of Sokoto State, Muntari Shagari, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu’s policies are reviving purposeful governance and restoring hope to Nigerians at all levels.
Shagari, who was a one-time Minister of Water Resources, and the current Board Chairman of the National Inland Waterways Authority, NIWA, made the assertion in an interview with NAN on Wednesday in Sokoto.
He explained that the Renewed Hope Agenda of Tinubu was steadily reshaping Nigeria’s economy and restoring public confidence in governance.
He described the president’s economic policies as bold, timely and transformative, adding that they were designed to confront deep-rooted structural challenges inherited by the current administration.
According to him, Tinubu assumed office at a period when Nigeria was faced with a battered economy, widespread despair and soaring prices of staple food items and essential commodities that were beyond the reach of many citizens.
He said that within the last two years, deliberate economic reforms introduced by the administration had begun to reverse the trend, leading to a gradual drop in the prices of food items and other key commodities easing pressure on Nigerians.
Shagari acknowledged that the reforms initially came with difficulties, stressing that they were necessary to stabilize the economy and lay a sustainable foundation for long-term growth.
He called for more understanding and cautioned that short-term discomfort should not overshadow future national benefits.
The board chairman commended Tinubu on the appointment of a retired Army General as Minister of Defence, Gen. Christopher Musa, describing it as strategic in strengthening the fight against insecurity and terrorism across the country.
He said the appointment has brought renewed focus, professionalism and improved coordination to the nation’s security architecture, which he described as critical to restoring peace and boosting investor confidence.
