Tinubu: How my govt achieved 2025 revenue target in August

President Bola Tinubu says the revenue target for 2025 was achieved in August, following economic reforms focused on stimulating the non-oil sector.

Tinubu said that the bulk of the revenue came from the non-oil sector.

The president assured Nigerians that the Renewed Hope Agenda is firmly anchored on building critical infrastructure, improving health facilities, ensuring food sovereignty, and providing security.

He spoke at a meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja with the founding members of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change and The Buhari Organisation, led by the former Governor of Nasarawa State, Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

Tinubu, who stated that the economy was heading in the right direction, said: “The economy is now stabilised. Nobody is trading pieces of paper for foreign exchange (forex) anymore.

“The economy is now predictable. You do not need to know the CBN Governor, Yemi Cardoso, to obtain foreign exchange or import goods.

“What we need now is building the ship and the vessels for the export of our goods and creating more jobs for our people.”

He said the federal government will establish agricultural mechanisation centres in all regions of the country to build capacity, expand cultivation and harvest, and guarantee food sovereignty.

“We are going to have trainees. That programme is our path to food sovereignty,” Tinubu was quoted as saying in a statement issued by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga.

Reflecting on his longstanding relationship with the CPC, Tinubu described the political journey and merger as “a sweet memory,” and expressed gratitude to the group for their support:

The president assured the delegation that the legacies of former President Muhammadu Buhari would be sustained and immortalised with a Buhari House, adding that more members of the old CPC would be given opportunities to participate in the government.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas thanked Tinubu for his statesmanship and magnanimity towards the people and government of Katsina State.

Abbas thanked the president for his vision and broadmindedness in accommodating all political stakeholders.

The leader of the delegation and former governor of Nasarawa State, Al-Makura, said members of the former CPC are committed to the success of the APC government.

Al-Makura also thanked the president for his extensive participation in the final rites for Buhari.
