families of the deceased has directed
6:52
the state motor traffic department to
6:54
carry out a diligent investigation into
6:56
the circumstances surrounding the
6:58
accidents. The Nigeria President Bola
7:02
Ahmed Tonubu has said that the West
7:04
Africa country has no fear over whatever
7:06
the president of the United States
7:09
Donald Trump is doing. Although the
7:11
Nigeria president did not give details
7:13
what the US president is doing that the
7:16
nation has no fear of. But President
7:19
Anubu at a meeting with political
7:21
leaders at the state house in Abuja on
7:23
Tuesday said that the country has met
7:26
its revenue target for 2025 from non-oil
7:29
revenue sources saying if Nigeria as of
7:33
August has already met revenue target
7:35
from non-oil products the country has no
7:38
fear of whatever the president of the
7:40
United States US is doing adding that
7:43
the economy of the country is now
7:45
stabilized saying the nar currency is
7:48
now performing well in the foreign
7:50
exchange market with a claim he met
7:52
dollar exchange rate at 1,900 naira per
7:56
$1 on May 29th, 2023 when he took over
8:00
as the president of the West Africa
8:02
country, praising himself that he has
8:04
worked hard to reduce the foreign
8:06
exchange rate from 1,900 naira to 1,450
8:12
naira per $1. A claim we fact check to
8:15
be very incorrect. We observed that
8:17
President Boler Tonubu on May 29th 2023
8:21
met foreign exchange rate at 461 naira
8:25
per $1. On the day of his inauguration,
8:28
President Bola Ahmed Tanugu issued a
8:30
policy statement directing the central
8:32
bank of Nigeria to ensure a unified
8:35
exchange rate. a policy statement that
8:37
made the exchange rate to increase from
8:40
461 naira to 853 naira per $1 at the end
8:45
of 2023. After the president, Boler
8:48
Ahmed Tanubu officially pegged and
8:50
increased the foreign exchange rate from
8:53
461 naira to 750 naira per $1 in his
8:58
2024 budget which made cost of food
9:02
stuffs and other cost of living in the
9:04
country to increase more than 200%. And
9:07
while presenting the 2025 budget,
9:10
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu peg and
9:13
increased the foreign exchange rate from
9:15
750 naira to 1,500 naira per $1. This
9:21
policy action of the president has since
9:23
made cost of food stuffs and other basic
9:25
necessities in Nigeria to increase
9:28
outrageously more than 700% with no
9:31
reduction till date. like a sache water
9:34
that used to be sold for 5 naira is now
9:36
sold between 20 naira to 50 naira in
9:39
some locations in Nigeria. Details of
9:43
some of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu
9:45
statements as presented by the
9:47
presidential spokesperson Beao Onanuga

Ahmed Tonubu said on Tuesday in Abuja
9:55
that the revenue target for 2025 was
9:58
achieved in August following economic
10:01
reforms focused on stimulating the
10:03
non-oil sector. He said that the bulk of
10:05
the revenue came from the non-oil
10:07
sector. The president assured Nigerians
10:10
that the renewed hope agenda is firmly
10:12
anchored on building critical
10:14
infrastructure, improving health
10:16
facilities, ensuring food sovereignty
10:19
