During an interview on Arise TV, Onanuga countered criticisms from political opposition figures, maintaining that public support is increasing because citizens are seeing tangible changes in their local communities. He highlighted that state governments are now better equipped financially to undertake significant projects, including the construction of schools, roads, and health institutions.

Regarding the management of the naira, Onanuga defended the move to let market forces determine its value, stating this helped remove economic distortions and that the currency shows potential for further appreciation. While he acknowledged that many Nigerians are facing increased costs of living, he characterized these challenges as the “inevitable consequences” of necessary major reforms, comparing the current situation to a temporary period of pain before long-term prosperity.

On other key policy areas, Onanuga noted:

  • Electricity Reform: He identified the Electricity Act as a landmark achievement that empowers states to independently generate, transmit, and distribute power, fostering a more competitive sector.

  • Insecurity: He disputed claims that insecurity has worsened, arguing that some media reporting and opposition rhetoric exaggerate the reality of the situation.

  • National Unity: He explained that the restoration of the old national anthem was a deliberate action by President Tinubu to emphasize the importance of unity and brotherhood among Nigerians despite their differences.

Onanuga concluded by affirming that the administration is laying the foundation for a stronger economy and that official communication remains consistent, even if the President’s personal style differs from his predecessors.
