Olademiji Fabiyi has declared that the economic record of the early two thousands remains the gold standard for Nigerian fiscal success.

He pointed out that the national economic council at the time was focused on debt relief and building a robust middle class. This period of prosperity, he argued, was not an accident but the result of very deliberate and highly competent planning.
Furthermore, Fabiyi suggested that the current economic hardship being faced by millions of Nigerians is a direct result of moving away from those foundational policies.
