The Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON, has expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will secure victory in the 2027 presidential election, attributing his optimism to what he described as the administration’s impactful economic reforms and improving economic performance.

Speaking during an interview on Monday, Alausa said the Tinubu administration had fulfilled key promises made to Nigerians through bold policy reforms that are steadily transforming the nation’s economy and laying the foundation for sustainable and inclusive growth.

According to the Minister, Nigeria’s economic progress is being validated by credible national and international institutions, including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, Bloomberg, and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), all of which have acknowledged positive developments in the country’s macroeconomic outlook.

He noted that key economic indicators continue to improve, citing easing inflation, expanding economic activities, and growing investor confidence as evidence that the government’s reforms are producing measurable results.

Alausa said President Tinubu remains focused on implementing policies that will not only address immediate economic challenges but also guarantee long-term prosperity for future generations.

“The President is focused on building a stronger Nigeria for generations to come. These reforms are not designed for short-term gains but to create lasting prosperity. There is no value in making difficult decisions if they cannot stand the test of time,” he said.

The Minister added that the administration’s emphasis on fiscal discipline, structural reforms, and economic stability is already yielding positive outcomes across various sectors of the economy, positioning Nigeria for increased productivity, inclusive growth, and sustainable national development.

He maintained that as Nigerians continue to witness improvements in economic indicators and experience the benefits of ongoing reforms, President Tinubu’s performance will remain his strongest campaign asset ahead of the 2027 general election.

Alausa also reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to implementing policies that strengthen the economy, improve the welfare of citizens, and advance the Renewed Hope Agenda, expressing optimism that the gains of the current reforms would continue to deliver lasting prosperity for Nigerians.
