The Federal Government has reiterated its dedication to market-led economic growth, transparency, and inclusive prosperity under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda.
Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, gave the assurance on Wednesday during the South West Stakeholders Dialogue held in Akure.
He said the ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies and foreign exchange liberalisation, have strengthened public finances, boosted investor confidence, and redirected national resources toward citizens and productive investments.
"Nigeria's resources are now benefiting the many, not the few. Our reforms are levelling the playing field, boosting competitiveness, and enabling sustainable economic expansion," Edun stated.

He also pointed to key interventions such as direct cash transfers to vulnerable households, the rollout of student financing under NELFUND, and plans to deploy a 90,000-kilometre fibre-optic network to expand digital access and innovation.
Edun reaffirmed that the administration remains focused on deepening investment, accelerating inclusion, and building a resilient economy for all Nigerians.
"We are creating the right conditions for businesses to thrive and for every Nigerian to participate in the nation's progress," he added.
