The Federal Government has highlighted progress recorded in 11 major economic and financial reforms implemented between May 2023 and December 2025 to address longstanding structural challenges in Nigeria’s economy.
The reforms were presented at a media briefing by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy as part of efforts to provide Nigerians with a clearer understanding of the government’s economic reform agenda and its impact.
The reforms cover key areas including fiscal policy, taxation, foreign exchange, education, infrastructure, labour, energy and capital markets.
According to the government, the reforms are aimed at strengthening public finances, improving revenue mobilisation, attracting investment, supporting businesses and building economic resilience.
“Economic reform is not a single event. It is a journey that requires difficult decisions, sustained commitment and transparent reporting,” the government said.
It explained that the measures were introduced to address longstanding structural challenges that had constrained economic growth and weakened the country’s fiscal position.
“Their objective is clear: strengthen public finances, improve revenue mobilisation, attract investment, support businesses, build economic resilience and lay the foundation for sustainable prosperity,” it said.
The government acknowledged that the reform process had produced progress but stressed that more work was required.
“Progress has been made, but the work continues,” it said.
On the importance of accountability, the government said citizens must have access to clear information on the reforms and their outcomes.
“Transparency and accountability remain central to the reform process,” it said.
It added, “Nigerians deserve to understand what is being done, why it is being done, the results being achieved and the challenges that still lie ahead.”
The government also said sustained implementation and public engagement would be necessary to ensure that the reforms deliver their intended benefits.
“Over the next 11 days, we will take a closer look at each of these reforms, examining their purpose, implementation and impact on the economy and the lives of Nigerians,” it said.
The Federal Government said the 11-day review would provide Nigerians with greater insight into the reform agenda and help strengthen public understanding of the policies being implemented to reposition the economy.
It maintained that the reform programme remained focused on building a stronger and more resilient economy capable of delivering sustainable prosperity for Nigerians.
