Odih Backs Govt’s Economic Reforms

Former director-general of the Atiku Youth Wing and current director-general of The Bridge for Renewed Hope, Hon. Odih Rowland, has commended the federal government’s economic reforms, describing them as critical steps toward achieving the administration’s $1 trillion economy target.

In a statement issued Friday in Abuja, Rowland said improved coordination among key economic institutions would help restore investor confidence, strengthen revenue generation, and support sustainable economic growth.

He said ongoing reforms reflect efforts by the administration to address structural challenges in the economy while creating opportunities for investment, job creation, and national development.

According to him, effective coordination between fiscal and monetary authorities remains essential for achieving economic stability and unlocking Nigeria’s economic potential.

“The efforts by the President Bola Tinubu-led administration reflect a deliberate approach to driving inclusive growth and advancing the Renewed Hope agenda,” Rowland said.

He noted that initiatives aimed at boosting non-oil revenue, improving tax administration, enhancing budget implementation, and promoting economic diversification could strengthen the country’s economic foundation and support long-term development.

Rowland also expressed support for the administration’s $1 trillion economy target, saying its success would depend on sustained reforms, increased private-sector participation, infrastructure development, and improved governance across key sectors.

He called on stakeholders in both the public and private sectors to support the reform agenda, stressing that national development requires collective commitment and effective policy implementation.

“The vision of a $1 trillion economy is achievable if stakeholders remain focused on productivity, innovation, transparency, and competitiveness. Nigeria has the human and natural resources needed to attain this goal,” he said.

Rowland expressed optimism that the reforms would deliver positive outcomes, improve living standards, and enhance Nigeria’s position in the global economy.
