Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organization and former Minister of Finance, has outlined two critical actions President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should take to further improve Nigeria’s economy.

Speaking to journalists after a meeting with the President at the Aso Villa in Abuja on Thursday, Okonjo-Iweala acknowledged the administration’s efforts over the past two years to stabilize the economy through various reforms.

She commended Tinubu for taking steps in the right direction and emphasized that the focus must now shift to economic growth and supporting vulnerable citizens.

“He deserves credit for stabilizing the economy. The reforms so far have been positive,” she said.

“What’s needed now is to stimulate growth. We must grow the economy and introduce a social safety net for those who are struggling with the effects of the reforms. Ultimately, the goal is to put more money in people’s pockets.”

According to her, these were the core issues discussed during her meeting with the President.
