A prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Hycienth Ngwu, has expressed optimism that President Bola Tinubu’s economic reforms are showing clear signs of hope for the country’s financial recovery and long-term stability.
In his Easter goodwill message to Nigerians, Ngwu, a former South-East Publicity Secretary of the APC, praised key policy initiatives under the Renewed Hope Agenda, emphasizing that the administration is laying the foundation for Nigeria’s economic transformation.
He pointed to the ongoing Tax Reform Bills and the “Naira-for-Crude” policy as major steps that could revitalize the economy, reduce inflation, and ease the financial burden on ordinary citizens.
“The Tax Reform Bills are critical. I urge the Senate to prioritize their passage, just as the House of Representatives has done,” he said. “Once implemented, the new tax laws will bring significant relief to everyday Nigerians, simplifying taxation and encouraging compliance.”
Chief Ngwu also hailed the impact of the Naira-for-Crude policy, noting that it is already driving down fuel prices and curbing inflationary trends across the country.

“These are not just economic policies; they are tangible signs of hope. President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is gradually restoring confidence in our economy,” he said.
Drawing from the symbolic essence of Easter, Ngwu urged Nigerians to remain steadfast and patient, likening the country’s current economic challenges to the refining process of gold.
“No great nation emerges without sacrifice. Just like Jesus Christ endured hardship and triumphed, Nigeria too is undergoing a necessary process that will ultimately lead to lasting prosperity,” he stated. “Easter teaches us that after suffering comes salvation. I believe Nigeria is on the path to economic rebirth.”
He called on Nigerians to embrace the spirit of Easter by staying hopeful and united, stressing that better days are ahead if the people continue to support the government’s policies and remain resilient.
