A support group for President Bola Tinubu, the Tinubu Impact Movement (TIM), has presented an evidence-based assessment of the administration’s performance, highlighting progress in key sectors. The midterm review, presented at a press conference in Abuja, focuses on measurable gains in the economy, education, security, and other areas. According to TIM’s National Chairman, Chief Dr. Obinna Ebirim, the administration’s early policy decisions, although sometimes painful, are now yielding positive results.
The review notes that the Tinubu administration inherited deep-seated structural issues, including problems in public finance, energy pricing, and foreign exchange management. However, the administration’s corrective decisions have started to show positive effects across multiple sectors. In education, funding has increased from ₦1.54 trillion in 2023 to approximately ₦3.52 trillion by 2025. The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has disbursed ₦161.97 billion to 864,798 students, helping to keep them in school.
The economy has also seen improvements, with the elimination of unsustainable fuel subsidy obligations and foreign exchange reforms leading to higher FAAC allocations to states, greater fiscal transparency, and renewed investor confidence. Although the subsidy removal and forex unification caused initial hardship, the reforms are seen as unavoidable for long-term economic stability. Inflationary pressures are being progressively moderated.
In the security sector, sustained reforms, better inter-agency coordination, and enhanced intelligence capabilities have resulted in reduced mass abductions, increased rescue operations, and safer movement along major transport corridors. The Tinubu administration has also made strides in areas such as sports, youth and women empowerment, health, information technology, and foreign direct investment.
The Tinubu Impact Movement stresses that the need for President Tinubu to continue in office for a second term is backed by evidence. The group aims to ensure that facts guide public understanding, allowing Nigerians to make an informed decision about the administration’s future. With the 2027 elections approaching, the movement’s assessment is likely to play a significant role in shaping public opinion about the Tinubu administration’s performance.
