An economic expert, Dr Ifeanyi Nwafor, says Nigeria is witnessing structural economic change under President Bola Tinubu, which will yield positive results soon.

Mr Nwafor, the managing director of Metrodigital Ltd., said this in an interview in Abuja on Monday. 

He said the Tinubu administration was doing well and that the changes being carried out to restructure the economy and reposition the country were for the future.

He expressed optimism that the changes would shape the country’s future and put it in the right position for Nigeria to take its rightful place in the community of nations.

Mr Nwafor acknowledged the hardships Nigerians were experiencing and pointed out that things would begin to improve in the near future.

“Sometimes we don’t see these impacts immediately, but they take some time to manifest. The administration is making the right policies and changes, and I believe that in no distant future, Nigerians will start seeing results,” he said.

Mr Nwafor, also the owner of a pay-TV the SLTV, said that his target was to impact positively on Nigerians and shore up foreign exchange for the country.

He stated that the TV plans to create thousands of jobs for the teeming Nigerian youths, adding that dealers were already springing up across the country.

“Each dealer will have his own installer and offices would be opened in this regard. So, SLTV is going to help in creating a lot of jobs and will also create another platform for innovations,” he said.

The businessman said Nigeria’s focus was on leading the world’s industry. He noted that the Nigerian music industry was already making waves worldwide and expressed hope that Nigeria’s indigenous pay-TV industry would also experience the same quickly.

‘’The success will bring in foreign exchange earnings for the country,’’ he said.
