Convener of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Ideology Group, BAT IG, Bamidele Atoyebi has said that the administration of President Bola Tinubu has recorded progress across key sectors such as education transportation, job creation and financial sector.

Atoyebi in a statement applauded the administration stating that federal ministries, departments and agencies, as well as parastatals, tertiary institutions and research centres, were recruiting Nigerians in significant numbers. He added that increased allocations to state governments had also enhanced their capacity to implement humanitarian and welfare programmes.

Speaking on education, Atoyebi said that the Nigerian Education Loan Fund had provided support for students, while the Tertiary Education Trust Fund had continued to improve lecturers’ welfare, training and development.

“Many lecturers have recorded greater benefits from TETFund in recent years compared to previous administrations.” He said

According to the him, the relative absence of industrial actions by the Academic Staff Union of Universities reflects improved engagement between government and academic unions.

On the economy, the BAT IG convener said reforms had strengthened Nigeria’s foreign reserves, improved the international usability of Nigerian payment cards and supported relative stability in foreign exchange and monetary policy.

He also highlighted several ongoing infrastructure projects nationwide, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, rehabilitation works on the Abuja-Lokoja road and road upgrades within the Federal Capital Territory.

In the aviation sector, Atoyebi said the settlement of airline indebtedness had encouraged the return of international carriers such as Emirates to Nigeria, while renewed confidence in the industry was reflected in improved safety ratings.

He stated that the combination of infrastructure delivery, economic reforms, aviation sector progress and improved financial standing demonstrates the Tinubu administration’s commitment to addressing national challenges.
