Minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Wale Edun has said that the benefits of the recent reforms carried out by the Tinubu-led administration will be felt soon.
Speaking in an interview with Arise TV during the celebration of Nigeria’s Democracy Day at the Eagle’s Square, Abuja, on Wednesday, June 12, Edun said funding is being rolled out that will allow people to take money to go to the market and buy.
He said;
“There is hope for better days to come. We are on the right track. We have turned the economy around and now the benefits are about to be felt by Nigerians. That is the commitment of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“Food distribution is underway, and in addition to that we have revamped and started direct payments to individuals to cover 75 million Nigerians at the end of the day, and that process has integrity, transparency and visibility.
“And it’s just a question of speeding it up, scaling it up. We know that before it was not what it should have been but it was stopped in the interest of integrity. But now, funding is being rolled out that will allow people to take money to go to the market and buy.
“And at the same time, there is tremendous focus on food production. That is the key area to focus on now because the economy has been put on track. People must feel it and must feel it soon.
“And Mr. President is aware of that and committed to that, he’s a man of the people, he’s from the grassroots.”
