President Bola Tinubu’s decision to entrust Atiku Bagudu with Nigeria’s economic planning portfolio has received high praise from the Centre for Africa Liberation and Socio-Economic Rights (CALSER).
Under Bagudu’s stewardship, Nigeria has reportedly seen a more disciplined and coherent economic planning process. CALSER highlights that Bagudu has introduced forward-thinking frameworks, enhanced transparency in capital allocation, and brought national plans in sync with both citizens’ needs and global best practices.
Economic Transformation Underway: CALSER Hails Bagudu’s Reform-Driven Leadership
CALSER emphasizes that Atiku Bagudu’s leadership marks a departure from reactive economic management to proactive development planning. His strategies are not just crisis responses but deliberate frameworks designed for long-term transformation. The organization notes that this is the kind of institutional reform that had been lacking in previous administrations.
One of Bagudu’s key contributions is strengthening the link between national priorities and fiscal execution. By improving coordination among ministries and aligning budgetary decisions with developmental goals, Nigeria is better positioned to meet both domestic expectations and international development benchmarks.
The Centre also points to increased transparency and accountability mechanisms under Bagudu. His planning frameworks emphasize measurable outcomes, ensuring that development funds are used efficiently and tracked properly. These systems are helping to rebuild public trust in economic governance.
CALSER views Bagudu as a symbol of renewed patriotism and competence in public service. They stress that his commitment to inclusive growth is evident in policies that prioritize vulnerable communities and drive broad-based economic benefits. His role, they argue, is central to achieving both national development and the broader aspirations of Africa Vision 2050.
As Nigeria advances toward Vision 2050, CALSER believes Atiku Bagudu’s structured and strategic leadership will be remembered as a catalyst for meaningful, long-lasting reform.
