Afenifere’s National Organising Secretary, Kole Omololu, says President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms can put Nigeria on a path to economic growth, Punch Nigeria reports. Omololu cited the removal of the fuel subsidy as an example of the reforms he believes could contribute to growth.

It also does not outline the other reforms included in Omololu’s assessment or give a timetable for any expected economic benefits. No opposing views, economic data or independent analysis are included in the available material. The report does not state whether Omololu attached conditions to his support for the reforms or addressed their effects on households and businesses.
