The Nigerian economy under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received plaudits from Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus.

She pointed out that the nation's exports are rising and imports are falling, suggesting a growing economy. The actress underlined that trade has advanced in Nigeria under Tinubu's leadership, emphasizing a change in focus from consumption to production.

"Our exports are increasing, and our imports are decreasing," she wrote. That indicates that the economy is growing. As of today, 2024, our exports have reached N38.59 trillion, while our imports totaled N24.44 trillion. We now have a record eight-month trade surplus of over N14 trillion as a result. It has never happened in Nigeria. Never. The change from consumption to production is welcome.

Her evaluation is conducted against the backdrop of the nation's tremendous hardship and inflation. Millions of people participated in a movement known as "End Hunger Protests" last month to express their opposition to the nation's deteriorating conditions.
