President Bola Tinubu voiced strong condemnation on Monday, stating that a select few individuals looted Nigeria’s commonwealth over the last 40 years under the guise of subsidy. Speaking at the second-term inauguration of Governor Hope Uzodinma in Owerri, President Tinubu expressed regret over the suffering that Nigerians are enduring as a result of the alleged misappropriation.
Acknowledging the challenges faced by citizens, President Tinubu assured them that his administration is actively addressing the issues brought about by crucial reforms. Emphasizing his commitment to the well-being of Nigerians, he outlined plans to focus on education, healthcare, and provide the necessary support for industrialization and investments. These efforts align with his vision of creating a stable and prosperous economy.
President Tinubu, during his address, remarked, “In the past 40 years, a few people were cornering our commonwealth and calling it subsidy, but I call it wasteful. Right now, we are all bearing and sharing that pain. But things are looking up. Things will get better for the good of all Nigerians. With me, there is hope.”
He assured citizens that substantial development would be witnessed in the education sector, prioritizing the well-being and future prospects of Nigerian children. Additionally, the President highlighted a focus on industrialization, pledging increased allocation and attention to healthcare.
