President Tinubu presents Three Years administration’s scorecards to fellow Nigerians
President Tinubu said that the country is now more competitive and fiscally stable than it was three years ago.
President Bola Tinubu on the morning of Friday, May 29, 2026, addressed Nigerians on his three years in office.
In the nationwide broadcast to commemorate the third anniversary of his administration, President Tinubu defended the sweeping economic reforms implemented by his administration over the last three years
He acknowledged that Nigeria is passing through a historic national test that requires sacrifice, courage and difficult decisions to prevent economic collapse.
President Tinubu recalled that he inherited a nation weighed down by profound structural and economic distortions, including crippling fuel subsidies, exchange-rate manipulation, rising debt service obligations, declining revenues and worsening insecurity.
The president maintained that without the decisive policies introduced since he assumed office on May 29, 2023, Nigeria would have drifted into fiscal breakdown, deeper poverty and severe economic uncertainty.
However, the president acknowledged the pain triggered by the reforms, especially the sharp rise in the cost of living, but insisted that the sacrifices Nigerians had made were already yielding results across critical sectors of the economy.
“My fellow Nigerians, history tests nations before it elevates them. Nigeria is passing through such a test. But I believe with all my heart that we shall emerge stronger, fairer, more united, and more prosperous than ever before,” Tinubu stated.
Addressing Nigerians in a speech heavy on economic data, infrastructure projections and reform milestones, President Tinubu said that the country is now more competitive and fiscally stable than it was three years ago.
“When this administration assumed office, our nation faced profound economic and structural difficulties. Mounting fiscal pressures, unsustainable fuel subsidies, declining revenues, exchange-rate distortions, rising debt-servicing costs, insecurity in several parts of the country, energy supply constraints, and declining public confidence in institutions all threatened our progress,” he said.
A joint security operation against terrorists has led to the rescue of nine persons in Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State.
According to inside sources, Forest Guards, under the supervision of the Directorate of Security Services and working with members of the local hunters and vigilante group, embarked on bush-combing operations. They discovered a hideout of the kidnappers and engaged them.
Nine persons were rescued in two separate operations in the forest of Obbo Aiyegunle. One of the kidnappers was neutralised while others fled with gunshot injuries.
One of the rescued persons is said to be receiving medical care at an undisclosed medical facility in the local government.

IGP Disu orders officers to shoot anyone carrying illegal firearms
Disu explained that the directive was backed by Force Order 237, which empowers police officers to respond immediately to armed threats without waiting for approval from superior officers.
The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has directed police officers across the country to shoot on sight anyone found carrying illegal firearms, as part of intensified efforts to curb insecurity.
Disu issued the directive on Friday during a stakeholders’ meeting at the Government House in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, saying the move followed President Bola Tinubu’s instruction that the lingering security crisis in the state must be brought to an end.
The police chief maintained that only authorised security personnel are legally permitted to carry firearms, warning that law enforcement agencies would no longer tolerate the unlawful possession of weapons.
” You cannot move around freely carrying arms as if there is no law and order in this country. It will not be tolerated,” he said.
