WorldStage Newsonline– Nigeria’s inflation rate is showing signs of improvement, and the federal government has linked it to proof that President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms are beginning to deliver results.
Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, said at the 2025 Ministerial Briefing in Abuja on Friday that the recent inflation data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) signals measurable progress stemming from tough policy decisions made by the Tinubu administration.
According to the NBS April report, headline inflation eased to 23.7 percent from 24.23 percent in March, while food inflation dropped to 21.26 percent.
Idris said the decline—though modest—was driven by government interventions in agriculture, transportation, and essential services aimed at easing pressure on household incomes.
“We are not yet where we want to be, but these latest figures give us every reason to be hopeful,” the minister said.
“They show that hard decisions are beginning to bear fruit.”
He emphasized that the federal government remains committed to implementing people-centered policies that restore stability and improve living conditions for all Nigerians.
