Farooq Kperogi recently commented on the World Bank’s projection that it will take 10 to 15 years for Nigeria to fully benefit from the economic reforms being implemented by President Bola Tinubu’s administration. According to Kperogi, this timeline effectively shifts the responsibility for any future economic challenges away from Tinubu, as his presidency will end long before the reforms reach maturity.
The World Bank has emphasized the importance of sustaining these reforms to stabilize Nigeria’s economy in the long run, despite the current hardships being faced by citizens. This long-term perspective allows room for the current government to justify the immediate economic strain while pushing for reforms aimed at future gains.
