NIGERIA’S ECONOMY has recorded foundational progress through ongoing fiscal, revenue and tax reforms, President Bola Tinubu told a Deloitte Africa delegation at the State House in Abuja on Wednesday.
JKNewsMedia.com reports that Tinubu, who received the delegation led by Chief Executive Officer Ruwayda Redfearn, said the reforms had steadily stabilised the economy over three years, with growing plaudits for positive development and growth indicators.
“We are following the example of Deloitte’s greatness to change things from the foundation, building the necessary future for our people.
“Yes, reforms are difficult. It has not been a McDonald’s customer relationship but a harvester of good things, if implemented well, and that is what we are about.
“Thank you for your partnership in paying attention to what we are doing here, as we have heard from the Minister of Finance about the fiscal, revenue and tax reforms that have taken place and are moving the nation forward.
“The reforms on revenue will continue to stimulate growth. And the effect of the reform? Yes, some issues are difficult to take the bitter medicine, but it is working well.
“For the economy, Nigeria is making serious foundational progress,’’ Tinubu said at the meeting, which was also attended by the Minister of Finance, Taiwo Oyedele, and the Chairman of the Nigerian Revenue Service, Zacch Adedeji.
