Spread the love

By Yahaya Ibrahim Bashir

President Bola Ahmad Tinubu has ushered in a new era for Nigeria, marked by significant changes and advancements.

Since taking office, he has introduced a wide range of economic measures aimed at addressing key issues in Nigeria’s economy. Notably, the removal of fuel subsidies stands out as a proactive step taken to strengthen the economy.

The decision has garnered support from numerous economic experts who foresee a promising future for Nigeria under President Tinubu’s leadership.

To witness the positive outcomes of Bola Tinubu’s actions and enhance Nigeria’s overall well-being, it is imperative to implement certain measures that address the prevalent high unemployment rates.

The economy is adversely affected by a significant portion of the able-bodied youth who remain unemployed, lacking both formal and informal skills. This dire situation must be rectified to attract investors and foster industrialization, which is a key pathway to economic advancement.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a crucial role in this process. Monitoring the number of students graduating from schools can also contribute to addressing the country’s needs and bolstering the economy. Nigeria is fortunate to possess a potent labor force that, if appropriately harnessed, can further drive economic progress.

The persistently high rates of inflation in Nigeria are significantly impacting the country’s economic stability. Multiple factors contribute to the inflationary pressures faced by Nigeria, and experts argue that the country has struggled to effectively control inflation through monetary and fiscal policies.

The new president must prioritize tackling inflation as a failure to do so could undermine the effectiveness of all other measures implemented thus far.

Controlling inflation is essential for maintaining a favorable economic environment, preserving the purchasing power of the population, and ensuring sustained economic growth.

Without effective measures to address inflation, the progress made in other areas may not yield the desired outcomes for the overall well-being of the country.

The non-oil sector holds great potential for driving economic success in Nigeria, and the president must focus on strategies to improve the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in this sector.

Agriculture and processing industries are key components that can be leveraged to achieve this goal.

By implementing policies that support agricultural development, such as access to credit, infrastructure improvement, and research and development, the president can stimulate agricultural growth, enhance value addition, and promote food security.

Additionally, investments in processing infrastructure and the creation of an enabling environment for agro-allied industries can further contribute to higher GDP, job creation, and economic growth.

Prioritizing these non-oil sectors allows for economic diversification, reduces dependency on oil, and unlocks the potential for sustained economic prosperity.
Nigeria’s heavy reliance on the oil sector creates uncertainty due to its mono-economic nature.

To improve the economy and reduce vulnerability, it is crucial to enhance revenue streams beyond oil. Diversification into sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, services, tourism, and technology is necessary for sustainable economic growth.

The government should create an enabling environment, provide incentives, improve infrastructure, and promote entrepreneurship and innovation in these sectors.

Diversifying the economy will not only generate additional revenue but also contribute to long-term stability, job creation, and overall economic development.

To summarize, Tinubu’s efforts to support Nigeria’s new economy show potential, but certain areas require attention.

Addressing high unemployment rates, controlling inflation, promoting non-oil sector GDP growth, achieving a favorable balance of trade, and diversifying the economy are critical.

By prioritizing these factors, Nigeria can foster a robust and resilient economy that brings long-term prosperity to its people.
