External Validation Not Needed In Our Policies-Nigeria Govts React To Emir Sanusi’s Submission

The Federal Government has responded to recent remarks by the 16th Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi II, concerning the economic policies implemented under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

In a statement issued by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris on Thursday, the government reaffirmed its commitment to reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy, emphasizing that it does not need external validation to continue with its policies.

The statement addressed Emir Sanusi’s comments made at a public event in Lagos on Wednesday, where he acknowledged the necessity of the reforms but said he had chosen “not to help the government” by explaining them. The government described this position as “amusing,” particularly from a leader expected to embody “forthrightness, fairness, and justice.”

“It is deeply disappointing that reforms widely recognized as essential by global experts—including by Emir Sanusi II himself—are now being subtly condemned by him because of a shift in loyalty,” the statement read. The government noted that Emir Sanusi’s background in economics placed a unique responsibility on him to support policies that he has previously advocated, rather than to “undermine reforms aimed at collective progress because he feels estranged from his ‘friends’ in government.”

Highlighting the importance of the ongoing economic measures, the government said Nigeria is at a “pivotal juncture where bold and decisive actions are necessary to tackle entrenched economic challenges.” The reforms, it argued, are not only essential but unavoidable, stating: “The temporary pains currently experienced from these inevitable decisions…are a necessary consequence of decades of irresponsible economic management.”

The administration pointed to progress already being made, including the unification of exchange rates, which has “bolstered investor confidence,” and the removal of fuel subsidies, which has “freed up significant resources, allowing for greater investment in critical sectors such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare.” The statement cited projections from institutions such as the World Bank, which forecast an “upward trajectory in Nigeria’s GDP,” as evidence that the economy is on the path to recovery.

Calling for greater unity and constructive engagement, the government said “Rebuilding Nigeria requires unity, focus, and sacrifice from all stakeholders. As a government, we urge esteemed leaders to refrain from rhetorics that undermine public trust. Instead, they owe it a duty to champion the collective goal of a prosperous Nigeria.”

The Federal Government also called on Nigerians and leaders alike to collaborate for the nation’s progress.

“Let history record this moment as a turning point—when leaders and citizens alike choose to prioritize the nation’s destiny over personal gain. Together, we will deliver on the promise of renewed hope and a better Nigeria for all.”
