BY MOTOLANI OSENI
Former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Muhammed Abubakar Adamu, has commended President Bola Tinubu over the giant strides he has recorded during his two years in office.
In his goodwill message to mark the second anniversary of Tinubu’s administration, the erstwhile top brass of the police force described the President’s leadership as highly impactful and transformative.
He commended the strides made across key sectors and urged Nigerians to support the government’s reform efforts.
Recall that President Tinubu, who assumed office in May 2023, has spent the last two years implementing wide-ranging reforms under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The administration is credited with improvements in power supply, with generation rising to over 6,000 megawatts, and crude oil output increasing from 600,000 barrels per day to about 1.8 million.

Economic indicators show steady progress. Inflation dropped from 34.8% to 24.48% by February 2025, GDP rose by 3.8%, the highest in five years; and debt servicing declined from 97% to 68%.
The government also cleared $5 billion in outstanding foreign exchange obligations just as revenue generation surpassed ₦9.1 trillion, while Nigeria’s trade surplus rose by 209.6% to ₦18.86 trillion in 2024.
Federal allocations to states increased alongside the adoption of a unified foreign exchange system to strengthen economic stability.
Social interventions have also been a key focus. The administration disbursed N45.6 billion in student loans across tertiary institutions, while ongoing reforms in the solid minerals sector are projected to unlock $700 billion in long-term revenue.
Adamu praised the administration’s inclusive approach to governance, highlighting its achievements as clear evidence of a focused and determined leadership.
He also expressed optimism that the next phase of the Tinubu presidency would deliver even more tangible results for the benefit of Nigerians.
