Yilwatda made the remarks in a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Media and Information Strategy, Abimbola Tooki, where he highlighted several initiatives introduced under the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
According to the APC chairman, the programmes demonstrate that the government is delivering practical economic support by improving access to finance, encouraging entrepreneurship and creating employment opportunities.
“The Tinubu administration recognises that sustainable economic development starts with empowering the productive sector. By supporting small businesses and young entrepreneurs, the government is establishing a foundation for enduring prosperity and collective economic advancement,” Yilwatda said.
He identified the ₦75 billion Presidential Intervention Fund for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises as one of the administration’s flagship initiatives designed to provide affordable financing to businesses across various sectors.
Yilwatda also pointed to the ₦11 billion support package through the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria and the ₦30 billion Youth Entrepreneurship Fund established under the Niger Delta Development Commission.
According to him, the intervention programmes are benefiting artisans, traders, farmers, manufacturers, tailors and other small business owners by helping them expand their operations and create jobs.
“The APC is steadfast in its commitment to fostering an economy that benefits all Nigerians. These intervention funds are not simply policy declarations; they represent tangible investments in the dreams and aspirations of millions of our citizens,” he said.
He added that the impact of the programmes could be seen in growing support for businesses, increased youth empowerment and broader economic inclusion.
“The evidence is unmistakable. Businesses are receiving assistance, young individuals are being empowered, jobs are being generated, and economic inclusion is on the rise. This is governance that yields results, and it serves as further proof that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is fulfilling his promises to the Nigerian populace,” Yilwatda stated.
The APC chairman said the ruling party would continue to support policies aimed at strengthening entrepreneurship, attracting investment, promoting local industries and driving sustainable economic growth.
