President Tinubu on the economy
Following the suspension of Godwin Emefiele as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in his second week, President Tinubu, in his third week, ordered the apex bank to float the naira at the Investor and Exporter market and put an end to multiple exchange rates.

The move has been commended by many economists who have said the policy would allow investors to come into the country and local manufacturers would thrive.
Tinubu in the education sector
On Monday, June 8, President Bola Tinubu signed the Student Loan Bill into law. The new Act is targeted at granting autonomy to universities and other higher institutions and stopping the incessant strikes in the system.
While some Nigerians have commended the president, stakeholders, including the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU), have faulted the move by the Tinubu-led federal government.
The president on corruption
President Tinubu also made a significant impact on the country's fight against corruption when he suspended the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Abdulrasheed Bawa.
Bawa was asked to hand over to his deputy and subsequently submitted himself for investigation over a series of allegations.
