The African Democratic Congress (ADC) criticizes the Federal Government’s reported celebration of Nigeria’s GDP growth, arguing that the economic indicators do not match the lived experience of most citizens. In separate statements reported by Vanguard and The Punch, the party says the GDP growth figures are not capturing the strain affecting ordinary Nigerians, including high cost of living and continuing difficulties in daily economic life. The ADC contends that despite claims of improved macroeconomic performance, many people remain exposed to hardship, with inflation and joblessness still weighing on households. The party’s position is presented as a rejection of the emphasis on GDP growth as a measure of welfare in the current environment. It calls for attention to conditions faced by citizens rather than relying on headline statistics. The reports focus on the ADC’s critique of the government’s narrative around economic growth and the argument that improved national figures have not translated into broadly felt improvements for the public.
