Tinubu Unveils Economic Reforms Targeting Nigeria's Elite 5% with Excess Liquidity
- Only about 5% of people in Nigeria have over 500,000 naira in their bank accounts, according to the Minister of Finance
- The government reforms aim to correct economic imbalances that have disproportionately favored a small elite group over the majority of citizens in the past 8 years
- The reforms target mopping up excess liquidity in the economy that did not contribute to production or supply of goods and services
- The excess liquidity previously benefited only a small number of people in the economy
- President Tinubu is providing a 3-month palliative package to help ameliorate poverty and high cost of living for 15 million households
