“Reforms are never easy, but they are necessary to build a stronger foundation for the future. The progress we are witnessing today confirms that the difficult choices are delivering the desired results,” the President said.
He noted that ongoing revenue and tax reforms are stimulating economic growth, strengthening fiscal management and repositioning Nigeria’s financial institutions.
