She wrote, “Our imports are reducing, and our exports are increasing. That is a sign that our economy is expanding. For the year-to-date 2024, our imports were N24.44 trillion, while our exports stood at N38.59 trillion. This gives us an unprecedented trade surplus of over N14 trillion in just eight months. It has never happened in Nigeria. Never. This is a refreshing shift from consumption to production.”
Her comments come at a time when many Nigerians are struggling with inflation and rising living costs.
Just last month, millions took to the streets in protests labeled ‘End Hunger Protests,’ calling attention to the growing hardship across the country.
Despite these challenges, Badmus remains optimistic about the current economic trajectory under Tinubu’s administration.
