I have achieved nothing under Tinubu—Ekpere Onah

“I have not achieved anything since this government of Tinubu came. In fact, there is no time when I say I am happy, because the cost of everything is very high. Now, because fuel is expensive and motor parts are very expensive, many people have packed their vehicles. So, I am not happy about this Tinubu government, it is not doing us well.”

He must improve on budget implementation —Yahaya Mohammed Usman (Sai Baba), PR consultant, Politician, publisher and columnist

“Again, Nigeria’s external reserves have climbed from a net $3.99 billion in 2023 to about $50 billion in May 2026. The fiscal deficit has been more than halved, from 5.4% to 3.0% of GDP. GDP grew at 4% in 2025, while the World Bank has projected a 4.2% growth rate for 2026.”

Tinubu is committed — Oladele Ogunsola, public affairs analyst

“On paper, the reforms are proving to be beneficial to the country, but in real life, the opposite is the case. With my personal conviction that no democratically elected leader would intentionally inflict pain on the people just for the luxury of it, I give it to Mr President that he’s genuinely committed to setting the country on the right economic path.
“The only snag there, however, is the failure of the ruling class to identify with lesser Nigerians in this austere time, as there’s nothing to suggest in their lifestyles that the country is facing economic downturn.”

Tinubu has not done well— Dorothy, public servant, Enugu

Removal of fuel subsidy is good, says Segun Benjamin, Business Owner
‘‘President Bola Tinubu has performed well to some extent in the last three years of his administration, and I need to commend him for removing the fuel subsidy.

Electricity, insecurity, and cost of living taking shine off Tinubu’s efforts – Emmanuel Chukwu Ifeanyi, IT Expert and Consultant in Yenagoa

“President Tinubu’s government has brought mixed feelings for many Nigerians. On the one hand, some economic policies may be necessary in the long run, but today life has become very difficult for ordinary people. The removal of fuel subsidy and the rise in the dollar have affected almost everything. Transportation, food, rent, internet subscription and even small business operations are now more expensive than before.

“As an IT consultant, I can say the digital and tech sector still has opportunities, but many young people are struggling because clients are cutting costs and companies are reducing spending. Power supply is still poor, insecurity persists, and the cost of living keeps rising daily. I will score the administration 5 out of 10 because while there are efforts in some areas, many Nigerians are yet to feel real improvement in their daily lives.”

Removal of fuel subsidy commendable – Abdul-Rahoof Bello-Làbélàbé, public affairs analysts, Ilorin

Closely related to this was the liberalisation of the foreign exchange markets, which allowed the Nigerian currency to get its true value through the market forces.

”But then, I believe that within the limits of the capacity, he has done more than what his predecessors have done and what his contemporaries, even those who are competing with him, within the political circles could have been able to do. Because the circumstances on the ground show that he is the most enlightened of all the candidates.”

President Tinubu deserves commendation – Malam Abubakar Bello, Bagudo, Bagudo Local Government Area Of Kebbi State
