This alignment is crucial to tame inflation, stabilize the naira, and restore investor confidence. “We are determined to reduce inflationary pressures by addressing structural bottlenecks—particularly in food supply chains—while exercising discipline in public spending.

“Let me be clear: transparency and accountability are not optional—they are prerequisites for fiscal sustainability, thus we have strengthened the role of the Office of the Auditor-General, enhanced the framework for procurement transparency, and expanded the use of digital financial management systems across ministries, departments and agencies.”
