Your economic policy hurting Nigerians – NULGE tackles Tinubu

According to Ambali Olatunji, president of the Nigerian Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), President Bola Tinubu’s economic strategy is having a negative impact on the common people.

Olatunji made the announcement on day one of a National Youth Conference in Benin, Edo state.

He added that Tinubu’s cabinet was too large, what with all the ministers and their support staff.

Olatunji noted that 45 ministers and a horde of aides are a significant load on a vulnerable economy, and that Tinubu has to comprehend the situation of the people.

In addition, he argued that the administration’s present economic policies is disproportionately harming the poor and the vulnerable.

In light of the current predicament, he argued that we should be discussing ways to reduce the expense of governance. Given the turmoil the country is experiencing, a smaller government of perhaps 26 ministers and a handful of staffers would have been sufficient.

The president hastily eliminated the fuel subsidy without putting mechanisms in place to soften the blow, which is why we’ve sunk to this level. We can only hope that he would see his error and change course so that the country can prosper.

You have no right to demand that Nigerians reduce their way of living while you continue to indulge in opulence. The Nigerian people are currently enduring terrifying events. There is widespread dissatisfaction, but we must maintain optimism.

Tinubu’s removal of the fuel subsidy in June, as reported by InfoStride News, led to a general increase in prices across the country.
