President Bola Tinubu says Nigeria has significantly reduced its reliance on crude oil revenues. Speaking in Abuja, he presents the development as part of a shift toward a more diversified economy rather than depending on oil income.
Tinubu also links the change to his administration’s energy plans, saying it will further pursue diversification and pursue an energy transition “suited to” Nigeria’s needs. Both outlets report that gas is positioned as a central part of the strategy, including efforts to expand gas supply for power and industry. In one report, Tinubu’s remarks are delivered through Vice President Kashim Shettima at an event marking the fifth anniversary of an agency. Across the coverage, the emphasis is on moving away from oil revenue dependence and expanding gas to support electricity and industrial activity, with limited detail on figures or timelines.
