Edun made this known on Friday at an event in Abeokuta, Ogun State.<\/p>\n

He said the economy would experience growth.<\/p>\n

According to him, the economic growth of Nigeria remains a top priority for Tinubu.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWhat is good for Nigeria is uppermost in our minds, not what the International Monetary Fund, IMF, or any other foreign organisation thinks.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy God\u2019s grace, under the able leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, we will move forward with this economy, and Nigerians will smile again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The National Bureau of Statistics said food inflation soared to 35.42 per cent in January 2024. This has further increased Nigerians\u2019 cost of living.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, as a solution to address rising inflation, the Central Bank of Nigeria raised interest rates by 400 basis points to 22.75 per cent in its last month\u2019s Monetary Policy Committee meeting.<\/p>\n
