President Bola Tinubu says Nigeria’s non-oil revenue is performing so well that the country met its revenue target for the year in August — months ahead of schedule.
Tinubu spoke on Monday when he received members of The Buhari Organisation (TBO), led by Tanko Almakura, former Nasarawa governor.
He said his administration had stabilised the economy, noting that global disruptions — including moves by United States (US) President Donald Trump — pose no threat to Nigeria’s fiscal progress.
“We have met our revenue target for the year, and we met it in August. If non-oil revenue is going well then we have no fear of whatever Trump is doing on the other side,” he said.
Trump has been pressuring the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to increase global crude production in order to reduce oil prices.
