Country too large, growth slow - Bwala states reasons for hardship under Tinubu

Daniel Bwala, special adviser to President Tinubu, said Nigerians may not yet feel the full impact of economic reforms because growth is slow, which he attributed to the country's large population (over 230 million) and limited resources. He noted that progress is being made through increased allocations to states, the NELFUND student loan scheme, compressed natural gas transport initiative, and healthcare subsidies. Bwala acknowledged that concerns about the slow pace are valid but insisted reforms take time.
