The Emir of Kano and former CBN governor Muhammad Sanusi II says he supports roughly 80 percent of President Bola Tinubu’s policy direction, praising the administration for tightening fiscal discipline and improving monetary‑policy coordination. Speaking on News Central, Sanusi highlighted that revenue‑to‑GDP ratios are up, debt‑service ratios have improved and the fiscal deficit is shrinking – clear signs the economy is finally stabilising.
Mass food imports were meant to lower prices but end up hurting domestic producers; Sanusi urges a halt to the practice and a focus on fixing the agricultural value chain.
Overall, Sanusi reckons the Tinubu administration has made “significant strides” and is moving “in the right direction,” even if a few critical tweaks are still needed.
