Nollywood actress Eniola Badmus is facing criticism again after she praised the economic policies of President Bola Tinubu’s government.
In a recent post, Badmus expressed her support for the administration, saying the economy is improving. She pointed out that Nigeria’s trade balance has changed, with exports increasing and imports going down.
“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 a 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,” she said.
According to Badmus, this shift shows that Nigeria is now producing more and consuming less.
