The Progressives Institute (TPI), the policy think-tank of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has said it will carry out a comprehensive review of President Bola Tinubu’s three years in office, describing the moment as an opportunity to take stock of the progress made through the administration’s wide-ranging reforms across multiple sectors.
Speaking on Thursday during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between TPI and Jade & Jaydens Services Limited, which will support the upcoming three-day Midterm Sectoral Review of President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, TPI Director-General Dr. Lanre Adebayo lauded the president’s economic measures.
He highlighted that the removal of the petrol subsidy and the floating of the Naira have effectively ended the era in which state governments borrowed funds to cover payroll obligations. “Before 2023, most state governors were borrowing money to pay salaries. Today, no state government is borrowing for that purpose. Instead, governors are embarking on massive infrastructure projects because they have significantly more resources at their disposal,” Adebayo said.
Describing Tinubu as a “statesman” rather than a “politician,” Adebayo argued that previous administrations, including those of former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan, and Muhammadu Buhari, often avoided these tough reforms due to political risks. In contrast, the current government has redirected funds from subsidized consumption into productive investments, creating a more sustainable fiscal environment for all tiers of government.
Dr. Mustapha Jibril, leader of the Progressive Local Government Chairmen Forum and chairman of Chanchaga Local Government in Niger State, noted that local administrators are witnessing the benefits of the reforms firsthand. He acknowledged persistent challenges such as insecurity but said the federal government’s response has been encouraging.
James Williams, representing Jade & Jaydens Services, said the partnership with TPI is aimed at strengthening institutional credibility by documenting measurable outcomes, which he said will deepen democratic accountability and foster sustainable growth in Nigeria.
The three-day review is expected to comprehensively evaluate the impact of Tinubu’s policies across economic, infrastructural, and social sectors, while also highlighting areas for further reform ahead of the 2027 general elections.
