Nigeria’s Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has emphasized that the economic policies introduced by President Bola Tinubu are designed to establish long-term stability and reduce poverty.
Edun made the statement on Tuesday during the 2025 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, D.C.
He noted that the administration’s reforms are focused on creating a solid foundation for inclusive development and sustainable economic growth.
“With the groundwork laid for macroeconomic stability over the past year, the next phase is to achieve inclusive, job-driven growth,” Edun explained.
He pointed out that the meetings offered a valuable opportunity to share Nigeria’s new economic direction with international stakeholders, particularly regarding strategies around fiscal prudence, expanded social welfare programs, and incentivizing private sector investment in critical areas.
Edun said discussions at the global gathering would play a key role in shaping the direction of Nigeria’s economic policies and strengthening partnerships that can unlock the country’s full economic potential.
