Has Tinubu Delivered? From Critiquing Past Governments to Today’s Economic Reality

Nigeria now has over 230 million people, yet infrastructure still lags behind rising revenues. Daniel Bwala, the President’s policy communication adviser, warns that population growth outpaces economic gains, making progress slow but steady. On a national channel, Festus Keyamo acknowledged that Tinubu boosted Lagos’s internally generated revenue. However, he also exposed that state debt jumped from under $200 million to billions, now accounting for 6% of Nigeria’s external debt and 4% of its domestic obligations. Critics question whether new revenues collected through AlphaBeta actually reached government coffers or ended up in private hands. This raises concerns about transparency, public services, and the real impact of Tinubu’s fiscal policies.
