Nollywood actress, Eniola Badmus complimented Nigeria's economy under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

She pointed out that the country's imports are falling while its exports are rising, indicating that the economy is expanding.

The actress emphasized that Nigeria, under Tinubu, has made extraordinary success in trade, highlighting a change from consumption to production.

On her Instagram story, she wrote: “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.”

Her appraisal is against the backdrop of unprecedented hardship and inflation in the country.

Last month, millions of citizens demonstrated against the worsening hardship in the country in a movement tagged ‘End Hunger Protests.’

The actress has always been vocal about her unbending support for the Tinubu/Shettima administration right from the polls.
