Latest Economic Growth Figures Validate Tinubu’s Reforms – FG
Special Adviser, Media and Public Communication and Spokesperson to the President, Sunday Dare, has said the expansion of Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product by 4.23 per cent in the second quarter of 2025 validates President Bola Tinubu’s reform programmes.
The National Bureau of Statistics, in its Q2 2025 GDP Report released on Monday, said the latest GDP shows the country’s economic growth rate is stronger than the 3.48% recorded in Q2 2024 and the 3.13% posted in Q1 2025.
Reacting in a statement on his X account on Monday, Dare said, “This latest NBS figure has again validated the viability of the reforms across sectors under President Bola Tinubu.”
The presidential aide framed the figures as early confirmation that policy measures introduced by the Tinubu administration are beginning to produce results.
He said, “The National Bureau of Statistics in the last report on economic output released today (Monday) for the second quarter (Q2) 2025 says the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 4.23 per cent.
“This latest NBS figure has again validated the viability of the reforms across sectors under President Bola Tinubu.”
NBS data showed that much of the improvement came from a stronger industry performance and gains in agriculture and services during the quarter.
It also attributed the figure to the effect of last quarter’s GDP rebasing.
