Nigeria shifting from consumption to production under Tinubu — Actress Badmus

Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s efforts to transform Nigeria’s economy.

The actress believes the country is seeing progress under his leadership, with less focus on consumption and more emphasis on production.

Badmus pointed out that Nigeria’s import levels have dropped while exports are on the rise, signalling economic growth.

She shared her thoughts on her Instagram story, expressing optimism about the nation’s trade direction.

“Our imports are reducing, and our exports are increasing. That is a sign that our economy is expanding,” she wrote.

“For the year-to-date 2024, our imports were N24.44 trillion, while our exports stood at N38.59 trillion. This gives us an unprecedented trade surplus of over N14 trillion in just eight months. It has never happened in Nigeria. Never. This is a refreshing shift from consumption to production.”

Recall that in May 2024, the actress commended Tinubu’s administration for bringing “significant progress and hope” to Nigeria.

Appointed as the Special Adviser on Social Events and Public Hearings to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, Badmus shared her views while congratulating President Tinubu on his first year in office.

“Congratulations on your first year in office, @officialasiwajubat. Your dedication and leadership have brought significant progress and hope to our nation. We look forward to continued success and growth under your guidance,” the movie star wrote.
