Mr Bayo Onanuga, the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, says the administration of President Bola Tinubu is working to put Nigeria on a solid economic pedestal.
Mr Onanuga said this in a statement in Abuja, reacting to the accusation by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the Tinubu-led administration was trying to entrench a one party state.
He added that the contrived pall of gloom cast over the country had faded out and renewed hope had been on leashed.
He said such was the positive trend the APC economic programme had generated that the IMF had reviewed upward the growth projection for Nigeria in 2024 from 2.9 per cent to 3.3 per cent.
Onanuga said the Tinubu administration had targeted a higher growth with its plans to embark on audacious infrastructure projects, such as the Badagry-Sokoto Highway and the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway.
He said the government’s economic team was doing well, adding that no sane government would change a winning team. he said this, was especially if such a team was working in sync with the advisory of the private sector, state governors and economic gurus in the country.
He added that in recent weeks, over a thousand kidnapped victims, had been rescued by the country’s gallant armed forces, without government paying ransom.
He advised the PDP to harmonise its home first, rather than accuse Tinubu of trying to entrench one party state, saying the president nurses no such plan.
