In the education sector, TMF praised the allocation of ₦3.52 trillion in the 2025 federal budget, a 304 percent increase from 2022. Through the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), over 440,000 students have received direct financial support totalling ₦42.8 billion, expanding access to higher education and nurturing the next generation of innovators.

The group also lauded record investments in the health sector, which received ₦2.48 trillion in the 2025 budget, a 242 percent rise from previous years. More than 1,000 primary healthcare centres have been revitalized, with another 5,500 currently being upgraded, while health insurance coverage has expanded from 16 million to 20 million Nigerians.

On agriculture, TMF noted that the state of emergency on food production has mobilized ₦100 billion in fertilizer support, with over one million bags distributed to farmers nationwide. Mechanized farming programmes, the group added, are expected to boost productivity by 20 percent, ensuring food security and sustainable growth.

Social investments have also reached record levels, with over four million households benefiting from ₦75,000 conditional cash transfers each. The Renewed Hope Housing Scheme continues to expand affordable housing access for working-class families, helping to close the national housing gap.

“History will remember President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the leader who redefined governance, restored public trust, and repositioned Nigeria for greatness,” TMF stated.

“If such reforms can be achieved in two years, there is no doubt that by 2027, Nigerians will overwhelmingly support his re-election for continuity and national progress.”
