Tinubu reaffirms commitment to reducing inflation through fiscal discipline.
President Bola Tinubu says he is committed to reducing inflation and stabilizing Nigeria's economy through fiscal discipline, transparency, and citizen engagement.
President Tinubu made this known in Abuja on Monday while declaring open the National Conference on Fiscal Governance, Transparency and Accountability organized by the National Assembly Public Accounts Committee (PAC), with the theme; "Fiscal Governance in Nigeria: Charting a New Course for Transparency and Sustainable Development," highlighting the importance of transparency and accountability in fiscal governance.
The president, who was represented by the Minister of State for Finance, Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, said his administration aims to achieve this enhancing the role of the office of the auditor general of the federation and improving procurement transparency, as well as expanding digital financial management systems across government agencies to ensure public funds are traceable and public officers are accountable.
Emphasizing that these principles are prerequisites for fiscal sustainability, President Tinubu urged the National Assembly to continue discharging their constitutional responsibilities with integrity, courage, and independence.
Also speaking British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Montgomery, reaffirmed the UK's commitment to democratic accountability and responsible leadership, while stressing the need for transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement to accompany economic reforms, ensuring they succeed and build public trust.
