    Information Minister Defends Tinubu’s Economic “Long-Term Foundation”

    The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has urged Nigerians to remain patient, arguing that the Tinubu administration is laying a “strong foundation” for shared prosperity. He cited reform outcomes and international compliance developments as evidence that policy direction is yielding early signals.

    Other reports continue to highlight cost-of-living pressures and the lag between macro indicators and household welfare.

    Echotitbits take: Communications can steady expectations, but credibility ultimately tracks lived experience. The decisive metric is whether inflation and purchasing power trends improve—especially for food and transport—within a politically relevant timeframe.
