Abstract

This study critically examines the economic performance of Former President Muhammad Buhari during his tenure from 2015 to 2023. Employing a thematic method of literature reviews categorizes economic activities based on topical issues under the administration of the government. The analysis reveals significant progress and challenges experienced during the Buhari administration’s economic policies. Key focus areas include fiscal management, foreign direct investment, job creation, security, infrastructure development, and social welfare programs. By examining each thematic area, this study presents a comprehensive overview of the economic landscape throughout the studied period. The findings of the study contribute to a nuanced understanding of the economic performance during the Buhari presidency, highlighting achievements such as improved fiscal discipline, increased foreign direct investment inflows, and the implementation of social welfare initiatives. However, challenges such as unemployment, inadequate infrastructure, and persistent poverty are also identified. Based on the study’s findings, recommendations are provided to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration on further enhancing Nigeria’s economic fortune. These recommendations emphasize the need for sustainable job creation, enhanced infrastructure development, and the diversification of the economy through strategic sectoral investments. This study offers valuable insights into the economic performance of the Buhari administration, shedding light on both accomplishments and challenges faced. The recommendations aim to guide future economic policies and foster improved economic outcomes for the Nigerian population under the incoming government.
