Tinubu’s Reforms Score 8.3/10, But Daily Struggles Persist for Millions

An intelligence firm rated President Tinubu’s economic reforms 8.3 out of 10, citing record foreign reserves, a steadier naira and renewed investor confidence. Yet official figures reveal rising hardship. Poverty hit 63% of Nigerians in 2025 and 27 million face food insecurity, even as inflation edged back toward 16% this year. Foreign reserves climbed to $51.45 billion and Nigeria secured sovereign rating upgrades, with growth at 3.92% in 2025. But household incomes have not kept pace with price rises. With elections due in 2027, analysts warn the real test is turning these macro gains into relief families can feel.

The economics report praises stronger reserves and a steadier naira, yet more than half the population still struggles with poverty and hunger.

I get the favorable ratings, but calling it an 8.3 score feels detached from the reality of millions facing daily hardship.

Policymakers should focus on targeted support for low-income households and rural farmers to ensure reforms translate into real improvement.
