You asked a simple question... Where is the subsidy savings? Spoke for 5 minutes and didn't answer. When you eventually do... also tell us why you would borrow to build a costal road rather than fix electricity. Which will completely transform our economy. You guys are just wicked. What have you cut back from government spending?

Let’s be serious! You can’t put numbers to these things because they are not factual! How do you explain with nelfund and interest rates ? Minimum wage of 70k what was the total bill before ? What it is now ? I mean it’s ridiculous!

@Owelle_Ikemba Having a Professor as your Finance minister is just so satisfying, he was breaking it down like he was in the classroom. He has also promised to provide a detailed analysis and explanation on this topic. Thank you sir.

So basically you have no savings because you have spent it ?? I man waiting for your ‘ detailed report’ you guys are too clueless and useless … just wasted my time watching this nonsense

This thief is very dangerous liar,he lies with a straight face,na ogun go kpai you and thiefnubu,and APC.they are busy looting the country dry,and this Omo ale have the guts to come here to lie.

Because you and your paymaster are unrepentant treasury looters. You megalomaniacs have removed all the safety nets other president's put in place, tax Nigerians silly and still borrow like there's no tomorrow. You and that drüggie in Aso Rock and his footsoldiers are leeches.

It's high time we started celebrating the intellectuals like @taiwoyedele and other high profile professionals who knows what they are doing and setting up anything possible to ensure our dear nation move forward. You might not like them in one way or the other at least, their dead brain is functional than the olodo's uprising youth here and there.

Thank you for your service to our beloved country. One important point that deserves more attention is this: removing subsidies was never primarily about "saving money." That distinction is often missed in public discussions. Eliminating subsidies does not automatically create a giant pot of cash sitting in government accounts. The reforms were also about removing distortions, reducing corruption, and putting public finances on a more sustainable path. Thank you for taking the time to explain this to Nigerians.

Nigha me and you know say u just Dey defend Tinubu, nor worry nah shey you be Pastor Judgement day Dey, sometimes I Dey reason say e be like Redeem people discover say God nor Dey exist naim make all of them Dey live their life this way

Everything said here makes no sense to me because we could pay subsidy for years all of a sudden we stopped paying subsidy, increased tariff on power, enforced tax payment etc Now tell me where are the monies? Why no changes in the life of an average Nigerian?

Transparency? What transparency? Tax laws were quietly altered and nothing happened. They keep borrowing day after day to "fix" the economy, yet the President has stopped talking about "pregnancy pains" now his excuse is that "poverty existed before i was born." The APC is full of liars and parasites. They want power but have no idea what to do with it. If a policy doesn't reduce poverty, it's worthless. And right now, ordinary people are sinking while the President and his cabinet are swimming in riches.

Detailed information from the minister ✅. Kudos to the brainbox behind the progressive reforms 🔥

My oga, can we convince the president to force the dollar exchange rate down ...the Naira is grossly undervalued by near 70% to 75%...by keeping the Naira under valued we are subsidizing our neighbouring countries at the expense of hard working Nigerians.

I feel bad that such a good man is in a position to use words and not numbers to defend this kind of government. You guys removed subsidy for the poor and gave politicians more money to spend. Imagine what the expense of each convoy of these politicians is. Just to mention a few

Why have you refused to pay local contractors? 30% of 2025 not paid. 30% of 30% not paid. 2026 budget not implemented. All these theses and lecturing are not being felt on the streets of Nigeria.

Like Satan, the devil who has come to kill and destroy, Tinubu's mission is to steal and steal and steal. Tinubu has a psychological problem with crime. Whatever he sees, he wants to steal and keep. Have you wondered what has happened to 2024, 2025, and 2026 national budgets?

Transparency with talks without the real statistic,a reform that brings hardship is not reform at all,minimum wage from 30k to 70k is still nothing compared to the present economy we are today,less revenue to service higher prices, 70k can’t pay 1 bedroom rent,30k then pays rent

This presentation is an exercise in intellectual misdirection. You cannot blame structural economic distortions for the lack of subsidy savings while actively funding state-sponsored indulgence. 1/4

No matter how much you dislike this govt, you just have to love this guy. He is such an easy going but extremely brilliant guy. The way he explains stuff ehhhh...even a baby will get it. I really wish him well in this new role. His passion is gentle but is impact great.

Check your ways, Tinubu government is the most hopeless government have ever seen in my life

This guy is truly an egg head!!!! 🙌 Bravo🙌

I love this guy. Kudos to whoever appointed him.

BAT claimed he has exceeded Revenue target, Wales Edun said that's not true. Tinubu sacked him, this one came is and started aligning with Tinubu that we have exceeded revenue target but at the same time, trying to justify why we are borrowing even with our revenue mark. Thievès

Good one but this question is not for you Hon. Minister you are not the one that prepare it please let the Former Minister for Finance come out

You brought nelfund and increased tuition by over 200 percent and you come here to lie to Nigerians to retain your job and save your head. Ïs Thunder that wil fire u. People are receiving stipends and it’s not made available to everyone. So there are special people that enjoy it

@taiwoyedele You agreed that money was borrowed and spent, wright! All we’re asking is “where is the receipt of your expenses”? Why should you be putting numbers together when you’ve an existing receipts? Your verbal response is a BS. Show us the receipts on paper, please!

The man just dey smile dey bobo a whole federation. And you simply can’t get him because he looks calm, and too smiley for citizens to even know what’s going on. Them wan use reform kill us Over 1.5 millions students, were done for.

This explanation is not clear as our earning is in USD and local adjustments should compare in usd, the question is what is 30,000 naira in usd before the reform and what is 70,000 naira in USD after the reform. This speech does not look like something coming from an economist

My concern is that it’s almost four years now and we the commoners can feel this so called reform, but a military govt is doing the same reform and things in Burkina Faso are changing , the evidence is clear even the blind can feel it. Our leaders are selfish simple.

The problem of this govt isn't so much about the so-called reforms even though I'm not in support of the reforms, the main problem is there lack of transparency and reckless spending. E.g deploying more money into fixing electricity is far more beneficial than coastal road

Look at your reasoning as a financial analyst on nelfund. Abeg where una really go school. You increase minimum wage to 70k and increased the price of every other utilities we use. Your schoola where you graduated must be very proud. Minister for finance my ass.

The worst people to trust are people like this, who are tools in the hand of a corrupt government. @taiwoyedele where is your conscience? Where is your integrity? Why are you sacrificing years of ‘credible’ career on the altar of incompetence & blatant corruption? To what ends?

You speak too much English just to impress your employer well here is the fact. No subsidy funds are being looted, no accountability for missing funds. One person stole 210 trillion, missing funds in NNPC yet nobody is held accountable. And you are here speaking big grammar.

The master himself. He is not just competent at his job, he possesses the rare skill to put it across for even a child to understand. Thank you the Honorable Minister.
