President Tinubu's Reforms
Social Protection & Cost of Living
How government interventions are cushioning citizens, improving welfare, and ensuring that growth is inclusive — no one is left behind.
Ensuring Reform Works for Every Nigerian
Economic reform creates short-term pressures on households. The administration has been deliberate about cushioning those pressures — through direct cash support, student financing, expanded health access, and stronger worker protections — while laying the foundation for long-term improvement.
Direct cash transfers scaled up. Over 8.5 million households have received cash transfers of ₦25,000, with ₦330 billion disbursed through the National Social Safety Net Programme. This is more than four times the number of households reached under the previous administration's nine years of the same programme.
Student loans launched at national scale. The Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) has disbursed ₦183.9 billion to nearly one million students across 265 institutions.
Health access expanded. Visits under the Basic Health Care Provision Fund have grown from 10 million in early 2024 to 45 million by mid-2025. Over 90% of births now occur under skilled attendance.
Workers protected. The national minimum wage has risen from ₦30,000 to ₦70,000 — a 133% increase. Nigerians earning ₦800,000 or less annually now pay zero income tax.
