Sunday Dare urges Nigerians to support Tinubu’s economic reforms

Special adviser to the president on media and public communication, Sunday Dare, has urged Nigerians to support the reforms being carried out by the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu under the Renewed Hope Agenda.

Dare stated this while delivering a public lecture organised by Daily Trust in Abuja.

He said that by the time President Bola Tinubu assumed office in 2023, Nigeria was grappling with inflation, foreign exchange distortions, rising debt, and weakened investor confidence.

“We were subsidising other countries while borrowing to survive,” Dare said.

He said the removal of fuel subsidy and unification of the exchange rate were necessary reforms to correct economic and democratic distortions.

“By unifying the exchange rate and removing fuel subsidies, President Tinubu corrected not just economic distortions, but moral and democratic ones,” he said.

Dare said recent indicators show signs of recovery, including improved growth, declining inflation, rising reserves and stronger fiscal transparency.

“Reform is not anti-democratic; reform is democracy’s insurance policy,” he said.

He urged Nigerians to support the reform agenda, saying unity is achieved through continuous policy choices rather than rhetoric.

“Nigeria’s future depends on leadership willing to reform systems and build a democracy that works — not for some, but for all Nigerians,” Dare said.

He said Nigeria’s fourth republic is significant not because it is flawless but because it represents the country’s most sustained attempt to entrench democratic ideals and institutions.

He said democratic governance in Nigeria should be understood as a “learning curve” rather than a linear process, shaped by innovation, competing demands, and imperfect implementation.

“Democratic governance is best understood not as a straight line or some mathematical progression, but as a learning curve — a nonlinear process shaped by human affairs and human nature itself,” Dare said.

He said governance requires constant reassessment and reprioritisation of policies in response to events often beyond the control of elected leaders.

“Governance is not only setting an agenda, but entails the dynamic reassessment and reprioritising of that agenda as events unfold,” he said.

Dare said Nigeria’s democratic growth was slowed by failures in leadership and institutions rather than rejection of democracy by citizens.

“The enshrinement of democracy in Nigeria was slowed because leadership and institutions did not fully understand the urgency of managing diversity, delivering justice and strengthening political legitimacy through economic fairness,” he said.

He added that the fourth republic remains Nigeria’s best effort at permanently establishing democratic governance despite its shortcomings.
