Why Food Inflation Dropped, FOREX Stabilized, Petrol Price Fell – FG
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has affirmed that President Tinubu is steering the affairs of Nigeria with the utmost fear of God and a deep conviction that history will judge his administration favourably.
Idris, who stated this in Abuja on Thursday at the ongoing Ministerial Press Briefing Session, said a nation thrives when its leaders govern with a sense of divine responsibility.
He said the reforms being implemented by the President are not just well-intentioned but are essential for the growth and development of the nation.
“Let me say that we have crossed the Rubicon, and the pains are gradually easing as the positive impact of these reforms begins to manifest. Already, we are witnessing a marked reduction in food prices, stability in exchange rates, and a gradual decline in the cost of petroleum products, which are clear indicators that the reforms are yielding positive results,” he said.
The Minister stated that history has shown that meaningful reforms are never easy, as they require sacrifice, resilience, and a commitment to long-term progress. He emphasized that the challenges and difficulties that often accompany these reforms are a necessary price for achieving a more stable and prosperous future.
