The Minister of Finance and coordinating minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, has said that President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms will yield results later. He urged Nigerians not to immediately expect to reap the benefits of the economic reforms by his principal.

Edun stressed that the administration was “assiduously working” on how to stabilise the economy and strengthen foreign exchange for productive activities.

Going by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports, the minister said this during the virtual 2023 Annual Directors’ Conference of the Chartered Institute of Directors (CIoD) Nigeria, on Thursday.

Nigerians have been grappling with hardship since Tinubu removed fuel subsidy and attempted to unify the official and parallel markets’ exchange rates.

Defending President Tinubu’s economic reforms, Edun said the economic adjustments were pertinent and their benefits would take some time to materialise.

“The economic reforms are necessary; its benefits will take some time to materialise. The agenda is to provide first and foremost a stable economy, growing more than population growth, with low inflation, stable foreign exchange to enable investments in productive activities.

“This is what the president is working on and we are a work in progress and we look forward to the task at hand. The big price is to make ourselves a formidable economy, our institutions a corporate governance place so that those interested in investing can have trust in their investment.

“The IoD has a major role to play in championing corporate governance so we have a clean lead corporate sector which the world can come and partner for growth and progress.”
