Eniola Badmus speaks on Nigeria’s ‘expanding’ economy

Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus has shared her thoughts on Nigeria’s ‘expanding’ economy in terms of import and export.

The actress, who recently assumed her role as Special Assistant to House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, compared the previous administration to the current administration on her Instagram story.

The firm supporter of the Tinubu administration asserted that imports are reducing and exports are rapidly increasing which shows that the country’s economy is expanding.

Her words: “Our imports are reducing, and our exports are increasing. That is a sign that our economy is expanding. For the year-to-date 2024, our imports were N24.44 trillion, while our exports stood at N38.59 trillion. This gives us an unprecedented trade surplus of over N14 trillion in just eight months. It has never happened in Nigeria. Never. This is a refreshing shift from consumption to production.”
