According to President Bola Tinubu, throughout the past 40 years, a small number of individuals have stolen Nigeria’s commonwealth under the pretense of subsidies.
But Tinubu bemoaned the fact that Nigerians were paying a heavy price for the plunder.
Speaking in Owerri for Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State’s inauguration for a second term, the President assured the public that he is sensitive to their worries and that the difficulties resulting from the crucial changes are being dealt with.
In line with his goal of building a stable and successful economy, he also revealed that his administration would prioritize healthcare and education, as well as provide the conditions for investments and industrialization.
According to Tinubu:
“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.
“I assure you that there will be substantial development in education for your children; priority is on industrialisation and healthcare will receive more allocation and attention. We will train more health workers.”
