Highlighting unprecedented achievements

Adeyemi highlighted the administration’s accomplishments, despite the significant challenges faced.

“President Bola Tinubu’s government has made unprecedented achievements in just twenty-four months, despite all the distractions and the global economic situation,” he said.

To provide comprehensive information on the administration’s progress, a compendium of the achievements will be launched during the conference, alongside a digitised website to ensure easy access for the public and international community.

Ahead of the event, Tunde Doherty, Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) UK Chapter, shared that the press conference is designed to counter misinformation and present the administration’s record accurately to the global audience.

Doherty listed several notable achievements of the Tinubu administration, including the commencement of operations at Nigerian and private refineries, the promotion of local government autonomy, the construction of major infrastructure projects like the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road and the Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway, and debt repayment to the International Monetary Fund. Other significant strides include the removal of fuel subsidies, enhanced security, and a renewed commitment to the rule of law.

“These are landmark achievements that will define President Tinubu’s legacy,” Doherty said. “The international community deserves to hear the facts directly from those implementing these transformative policies.”

The London press conference is part of a broader strategy to reshape global perceptions of Nigeria’s governance and garner support for the ongoing reforms.

With key cabinet members attending, the event promises to provide an opportunity for the government to present its narrative on the world stage, aiming to attract international support for Nigeria’s continued progress.
