APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda says President Bola Tinubu’s intervention programmes are producing economic benefits for Nigerians. In statements reported by Vanguard and The Punch, Yilwatda attributes the impact to “Presidential Intervention Funds” designed to support entrepreneurship and small businesses, as well as youth empowerment efforts. He says the programmes improve access to finance for entrepreneurs and help businesses expand, describing the initiative as aligned with Tinubu’s campaign promises.
Both outlets report that Yilwatda frames the intervention funds as reaching “millions of Nigerians,” though neither source provides detailed figures, timelines, or independent verification. The Punch adds that Yilwatda’s comments are conveyed through a media statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki. Overall, the coverage focuses on the APC chair’s assessment of the funds’ purported economic and social effects, rather than on official programme metrics or external evaluations.
