By Prince Benson Davies.

The Honourable Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his positive economic reforms, which are yielding significant results for the nation, and urges critics to be positive in their narratives, emphasizing that President Tinubu’s administration is committed to developing and implementing economic and tax reforms that will guarantee more functional Public Financial Management (PFM) systems in the country.

According to Matawalle, in light of ongoing criticism, particularly from some quarters in Northern Nigeria, the minister urged critics to be positive in their narratives and called on citizens to remain steadfast in their support for the President and to reject divisive narratives. “Nigerians must stand united behind Mr. President, who is diligently working hard to revitalize our economy through a series of effective policies, programs, and reforms,” he stated.

He specifically highlighted President Tinubu’s tax reforms as a pivotal element in the country’s economic turnaround. He explained that these reforms are designed to create a more equitable tax system, which will enhance revenue generation for the government while easing the financial burden on ordinary citizens and small businesses.

“By broadening the tax base and ensuring that everyone pays their fair share, President Tinubu is laying the groundwork for sustainable economic growth. These reforms will not only increase government revenues but also stimulate investment and job creation across various sectors,” Matawalle elaborated.

The minister further noted that the tax reforms aim to simplify the tax administration process, making it easier for individuals and businesses to comply. This will foster a more business-friendly environment, encouraging entrepreneurship and innovation, which are essential for driving economic progress.

Matawalle also highlighted several key achievements across various sectors, particularly noting improvements in national security. He emphasized that President Tinubu has made substantial strides in enhancing the Nigerian military’s capabilities by providing modern hardware and equipment. Additionally, he assured that military personnel have received timely payment of their allowances and salary increases, significantly boosting their morale.

“Under President Tinubu’s leadership, we are witnessing a renewed commitment to the safety and well-being of all Nigerians. I encourage everyone to recognize the positive changes taking place, the minister emphasized.
