President Bola Tinubu told Nigerians the hard times are ending after two years leading the country. He said economic changes are working and the nation grows stronger each day. Tinubu admitted his policies caused pain for citizens but believes things improve daily. The president removed fuel subsidies on his first day which made prices jump everywhere. Many families struggled to buy food because costs rose quickly.

Opposition party leaders called Tinubu's leadership a massive failure for ordinary people. The Peoples Democratic Party lost power years ago and criticizes current government actions. Tinubu defended his record and pointed to falling rice prices across markets. Inflation reached 24 percent last month compared to 22 percent when he started work. Protests happened last year when prices peaked at 34 percent causing deadly street demonstrations.

Economic experts predict Nigeria will grow 4 percent this year beating the 3 percent rate from before. Jobs remain scarce for young graduates seeking work after university studies. Tinubu said removing subsidies stopped corruption and freed money for development projects. State governors received extra funds but analysts question how they spent taxpayer money. Political parties may join forces against Tinubu before 2027 elections approach.
