Actress Eniola Badmus has praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s economic policies, citing a decrease in imports and an increase in exports as signs of an expanding economy.

On her Instagram story, Badmus shared trade statistics, highlighting a trade surplus of over N14 trillion in just eight months. 

She described this as a “refreshing shift from consumption to production.”

She wrote: “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.”

However, her appraisal comes amidst widespread hardship and inflation in the country, with millions of citizens protesting against the worsening economic conditions in August.
