MIKE ARNOLD, A US MAYOR, PRAISES TINUBU’S “ECONOMIC PROGRESS” IN NIGERIA.

Babatunji Wusu –

Not just NBA club officials, but even Mike Arnold, the mayor of Blanco, Texas, have praised President Bola Tinubu’s economic accomplishments.
Arnold voiced his appreciation for the Naira’s floating and the elimination of gasoline subsidies during a reception hosted in honor of former Nigerian presidential adviser and novelist Reno Omokri. He emphasized the good impact these developments have had on the resiliency of the Nigerian economy.

“I am particularly pleased also that Nigeria is successfully tackling its foreign exchange crisis, and by blocking loopholes through which institutions like Binance were able to profit, which I fully support what Nuhu Ribadu is doing,” Arnold said during the event held at the San Antonio Spurs’ official performance centre.

Speaking further, Arnold said: “I also praise you, Reno Omokri, for your #GrowNairaBuyNaija campaign. Because of you, Americans now know Nigerian corporations like Glo, Dangote and Innoson.”

In addition, the mayor is urging Nigerians to support him by signing his petition at www.idpjustice.org, which seeks to upgrade the facilities for the country’s internally displaced people (IDP).

Star player Gorgui Dieng reportedly hailed Omokri for his visit and stated his support for the Nigerian people, according to Daily Times.

He also urged young people in Nigeria to take up sports as a way of developing personally.

There have been some recent improvements in the Nigerian economy. The value of the Naira has increased by one-fifth during the last five weeks, which is the most visible of all.

The increase in foreign exchange inflows, which caused Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves to climb by $1.04 billion in the first quarter of the year, is responsible for this development.
