Former presidential aide and ambassador-designate to Mexico, Reno Omokri, has declared that Nigeria is in a better position today than it was before President Bola Tinubu assumed office in May 2023.
In a statement posted on social media, Omokri cited inflation, minimum wage, federal allocations, foreign reserves, infrastructure development and student loans as evidence of progress under the current administration.
He argued that the country’s inflation rate had declined significantly compared to levels recorded before Tinubu took office.
“Please fact-check me: Nigeria’s inflation rate in 2022, before President Tinubu took office, was 23%. Today it is 15.9%,” he said.
Recent data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) shows that Nigeria’s headline inflation rate stood at 15.93 percent in May 2026.
Omokri also noted that the national minimum wage had increased from N30,000 to N70,000 under the Tinubu administration.
He said allocations shared monthly by the Federation Account Allocation Committee
