Abuja, March 11, 2025
Prince Ade Omole, the Diaspora Director of the defunct Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), says the recent Chatham House UK endorsement of President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms is a reflection of positive results.
He said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja on the development.
Omole added that he was pleased to see that global institutions were finally acknowledging the foresight of the Tinubu-led administration despite the naysayers’ predictions.
According to him, the Chatham House commendation confirmed that Nigeria was on a definitive path toward economic recovery and long-term competitiveness.
Omole had earlier addressed the International Press Corps at the Washington DC International Conference on Big Data on the commendation by Chatham House UK on Tinubu’s sweeping economic reforms.
Mr David Lubin, a Michael Klein Senior Research Fellow on the Global Economy and Finance Programme and former Managing Director and Head of Emerging Markets Economics at Citi Bank, lauded Tinubu’s reforms.
Omole noted that Lubin’s analysis heralded Nigeria’s economy as the most competitive in 25 years, a milestone attributed directly to the bold economic policies implemented by the Tinubu-led administration.
“President Tinubu saw into the future and knew what needed to be done to get the country out of the woods,” Omole said.
He noted that while Nigeria’s challenges were not yet over, the country was surely on its way out due to Tinubu’s reforms, foresight, and doggedness.
He said the sweeping economic reforms of the Tinubu-led administration and the gradual inflow of foreign investors, as confirmed by the Trade Minister and Investment Minister, Dr Jumoke Oduwole, into the country, were both transformative and essential.
He said this was critical for setting Nigeria on a definitive path toward economic recovery and long-term competitiveness.
Recalling his previous exchanges with the Financial Times in the United Kingdom, Omole said the renowned publication had initially failed to perceive the visionary nature of the current administration’s policies.
He expressed hope that as more international observers reassess their earlier positions, they will begin to report on Nigeria’s positive economic trajectory and President Tinubu’s audacious and legendary leadership.
He stressed that Chatham House’s shift in perspective marked a significant turning point in how Nigeria’s economic progress was understood on the global stage.
He described the British think tank’s commendation as an endorsement of the Tinubu-led administration’s policies, programs, and economic reforms.
Omole expressed optimism that 2025 would bring more positive changes for the country in all aspects of its economy, advising Nigerians to continue supporting the administration in delivering its Renewed Hope Agenda. (NAN)
