62 percent of Nigerians believe President Bola Tinubu’s government will bring the country ahead, report said.
CMC Connect LLP, a Lagos-based public perception consultancy and strategic communication organisation, conducted the poll in collaboration with Analysts Data Services and Resources (ADSR).
According to the businesses, 1,714 people from the country’s six geopolitical zones took part in the poll and offered their thoughts on Tinubu’s first 60 days in office.
“38% do not see the country moving forward under the current administration, while 62% do,” according to the survey.
“By and large, respondents are less satisfied with the first 60 days of the current administration, but they are more optimistic about the country moving forward under the current administration.”
According to the study, the suspension of Godwin Emefiele as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Abdulrasheed Bawa as chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has been met with widespread approval.
According to the research, respondents supported the use of both old and redesigned naira notes as legal cash, although the anticipated withdrawal of the power subsidy drew strong criticism owing to worries about energy prices.
According to the research, respondents expressed moderate satisfaction with the unification of currency rates and the president’s objective of a 6% average growth rate for the following four years.
