President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday announced that his administration achieved Nigeria’s 2025 revenue target ahead of schedule, with non-oil revenues meeting projections by August.
Speaking at the State House, Abuja, during a courtesy visit by members of The Buhari Organisation (TBO) led by former Nasarawa governor, Senator Tanko Al-Makura, Tinubu said the milestone reflected his government’s commitment to fiscal discipline and economic reform.
“Nigeria is not borrowing. We have met our revenue target for the year, and we met it in August,” he said.
The President dismissed external pressures, including concerns about U.S. politics, stressing that Nigeria’s economy was stabilising. According to him, exchange rates have improved from ₦1,900 to the dollar when he assumed office, to about ₦1,450 at present.
He also unveiled plans for a nationwide mechanisation programme to strengthen food security. “Every region will have a mechanised farm centre. We are committed to removing poverty from our land, and that is the work we have already started,” he stated.
Tinubu urged supporters to stay focused ahead of the 2027 elections, assuring that his administration’s legacy would be rooted in justice, transparency, and prosperity.
Reflecting on his early alliance with former President Muhammadu Buhari, Tinubu described their partnership as a foundation for today’s progressive government. He pledged to honour Buhari’s legacy and announced plans to establish a “Buhari House” as a symbol of unity and progress.
The TBO delegation, led by Senator Al-Makura, pledged loyalty to Tinubu’s government and reaffirmed the solidarity of the CPC bloc within the APC. Al-Makura praised the President’s economic management and commitment to Buhari’s principles of justice and transparency.
Also speaking, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Tajudeen Abbas, assured Tinubu of the bloc’s “unconditional support,” pledging grassroots mobilisation ahead of 2027.
